Time For A COIT Revolution?

Professor Maurice Eisenstein calls on Lake County’s taxpayers to picket their elected officials if they support the imposition of a new Lake County income tax — a tax that isn’t guaranteed to stay at only 1 percent and could rise even more to keep up with the government’s insatiable spending habits.
There are two things all the citizens of Lake County must to do to keep our honor as Americans. First, attend todays (12/28/07) meeting of the Lake County Council (at 4:00 p.m.) and stop them from overriding the veto of the Lake County Commissioners (by any means). If we have over a thousand people show up, that will tell them what we think and what we are about to do (say, take away their paycheck at the next election), it will actually scare them and they will have to take more hormones.
Second, if they get away with voting for the income tax, start picketing their homes, their work, and everywhere they go, include their supporters, such as the Mayors of the three northern cities. In that process, make sure that no one is re-elected. Show the Lake County Democratic Party that this is a Party vote and if the Party votes for it, you as a voter, and a true American, will make the Party pay in Lake County in the next election.

Council Approves New Tax

The Lake County council approved a Lake County income tax in a 5-1 vote, the Northwest Indiana Times reports. Ted Bilski voted in favor. Tom O’Donnell was absent, according to the news report.
In a 5-1 vote today, the Lake County Council voted in an income tax. But unlike other plans discussed, this one would only give the property-tax relief generated by the income tax to the owners of single-family homes, not business owners or landlords.

Buzz: Two Could Flip To Support New Income Tax
Filed Under COIT, Income Tax, Lake County, Lake County Council, Ted Bilski, Thomas O'Donnell | Leave a Comment
A Northwest Indiana Times article has Buzzcut at Blue County in a Red State predicting two defections from the anti-Lake County income tax plan.
Both O’Donnell AND Bilski are going to flip!
This article just goes to show that these councilmen have no idea what the income tax is and how it will work in practice.
The Lake County income tax seems to be inevitable.
