Good that people are fed up but what can we expect to come of it? I mean, are Democrats so comfortable with their future election prospects that, short of a widespread refusal to pay taxes, they will just brush this stuff off?

For the record, I advocate always paying taxes, as I am a Christian.

Orange County FreedomWorks, the local CELL ?? of a national anti-tax, limited-government organization started by former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey. Uhoh, the Obots better wake up....the Big Barn in the Daniel Boone Village, the perfect location.

How did I miss this?!

When we moved to Durham County the property taxes came as a real shock. I mean, it’s Durham County! Some of what we get for our taxes are convicted felons running the streets and paying for Bill Bell to have a face-to-face with Obama. But, if we want our yard waste picked up we must pay $42 for a can and an extra $60 a year.

"But, if we want our yard waste picked up we must pay $42 for a can and an extra $60 a year."

pppffffttt.....I wish..... We pay about a third more than that plus the can must be facing the street no more than 6 inches from the curb, no less than five feet from any obstruction i.e. mailbox or pole, one and one half feet apart starting with household garbage followed by yard waste and recycling in order as traffic flows. If the lid is not completely closed and secure, they will not pick it up. If the recycling has a bottle that is not recyclable, they will not pick it up. The recycling can must have paper and cardboard on the bottom, followed by plastic bottles and then cans. Yard waste does not included limbs over three inches thick or Christmas trees.

When I first got the instructions and the bill, I thought they were kidding.

Good job ABB, I'm glad to see you are on this. Check out the local Chapel Thrill progressive site, http://orangepolitics.org/ I left a little comment there about what's wrong with a bit of ‘troof to power’??

What about Irwin Schiff? Friday, February 6, 2009 Free Irwin Schiff! Libertarian Tax Resisters get 10 years + in Federal Prison, Obama Democrats go scott free

Maybe the Bastille in Trenton should be stormed to free the patriot? Obama Democrats don't pay taxes willfully. Irwin Schiff does not pay the so-called income tax without willfulness and he gets 30 years.

Outrageous!

"We went up there because I'd been outraged at how high our valuation is on our house," said Nancy Oates of Chapel Hill. "We were absolutely stunned that there were so many people there."...."We kind of thought it would be all people from northern Orange County, that there would be a lot of pickup trucks and ball hats. But there were a lot of people of all ages, all races . . . in business suits and professional dress," Oates said. "There were some from Chapel Hill and Carrboro, and that kind of surprised me, the diversity of the crowd."

Oh goody. A snob spouting cliches about diversity.

Is this really the kind we want to link arm in arm with over taxes?

Temporarily, perhaps.

Chapel Hill is a bastion of leftists. They need to stop whining and drink their masters koolaid. They voted for him, he won, so pay the fiddler!

Invariably, the do-gooders want to do all the do-gooding with someone else's money.

At one time there was a group named The Regulators in the Hillsborough area. Perhaps it is time for them to reform and make government accountable .
