This keeps getting promoted to me & I cannot stress enough that stealing from big box stores is fine. Did you know they have an entire playbook on how to avoid paying local taxes as they destroy independent businesses & abandon buildings? via @doctorow https://t.co/tCmhONpZJl https://t.co/QtJ3loNgp4

I guess this is a greenlight to steal from her?

The difference between civilization and anarchy is the right to own, free from fear, property. Anything that threatens the right to own and enjoy property is a threat to civilization itself.

What a moron.

Companies have strategies to avoid paying taxes? And that is outrageous?

My guess is this author has never made enough money to actually pay taxes. I wonder what dedications she takes to reduce her tax liability?

Freakin’ hypocrites.

Her entire premise points to her being an immature moron and a total asshole.

At the very least she should be arrested for disturbing the peace.

I seem to recall she was prominent during the “gamergate” business.

Did you know they have an entire playbook on how to avoid paying local taxes as they destroy independent businesses & abandon buildings?

She has a point about avoiding the taxes. However, that playbook was co-written by the corporations and the local/state politicians that love giving away tax break after tax break, in the interest of luring businesses and “jobs” to the area.

The Great American Jobs Scam: Corporate Tax Dodging and the Myth of Job Creation ... https://www.amazon.com/Great-American-Jobs-Scam-Corporate/dp/1576753158

Local and state politicians stealing their constituents money and giving it to any company that “promises the moon”, all while getting that thick envelop during some backroom deal.

Due to property taxes, we never own our property, nor our descendants.

yap, your property is simply leased from the local government. The local government can raise property tax at will, and if you do not pay, they can grab it away from you.

She missed her calling. Seems utterly suited to be a handmaid.

If she says so and I read it on the internet does that mean I’m okay to do it?

I’ve seen TV coverage of employees, security guards and police standing down and watching as crews stripped stores of high end retail items stuffed into lawn and leaf bags and put into waiting suvs at the curb.

And sanctuary cities where police aren’t allowed to question people in case they are undocumented immigrants.

Who decides which laws to break and which to follow?

Exactly.

Wonder how loudly she would screech for the police if a poor white coal miner from WV who lost his job because of government regulations were to stick a gun in her face and demand her wallet.

If I were the cop that was sent to respond, I would laugh in her face and walk away.
