"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Taxes and Subscriptions: The Same Result
Submitted by Michael Kleen on Fri, 2010-10-08 03:00
There are, of course, still two differences between the solutions: under “pay-for-spray,” you lose not only your house, but everything and everyone inside it, while under an auction, you just lose your house; on the other hand, under “pay-for-spray,” you lose your house only if you’re unlucky enough to be the victim of a fire, while under an auction you lose your house because you can’t afford the tax, whether or not you’re unlucky enough to be the victim of a fire.
