Who are you to impose conditions on the way this particular HOA/county/taxing authority conducts business if they're doing so legally? Don't like the rules? Then don't live there.

Oh, yeah. I forgot. We citizens have no right to question our legal system when a sick old couple gets robbed out of $200,000 because of a $120 bill. Who are we to impose conditions on the taxing authority.

King George was well within the letter of the law when he taxed the colonies. The Founding Fathers should have just moved!

Get a clue, the people do have a say in these matters, which is why the Republican assemblyman is considering legislation to put a halt to this kind of "justice".

Strawman. I am not questioning anybody's "right to question" anything. And your use of the word "robbed" in this context is both inflammatory and inaccurate. THE COUPLE WILLINGLY SIGNED A VALID CONTRACT!

Who are we to impose conditions on the taxing authority.

Who are we to poke our outsider noses into a legal contract between two willing participants?

King George was well within the letter of the law when he taxed the colonies. The Founding Fathers should have just moved!

You're comparing apples and oranges. To equate people not paying their taxes and unilaterally breaching a contract to the Founding Fathers is ridiculous hyperbole.

Get a clue

I have one. YOU get a clue and stop desperately trying to drag strawmen into this discussion.

(T)he people do have a say in these matters, which is why the Republican assemblyman is considering legislation to put a halt to this kind of "justice".

So the assemblyman is going to try to void legal contracts between willing parties? He's certainly welcome to try, but no court in the land will uphold the resulting anti-freedom of association legislation.
