@slightlylate don't get me wrong, I'd rather have none - I was simply floating the least violent, maximally volitional option of the bunch.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@slightlylate a town-level sales tax is far more voluntary/peaceful - if you don't support what they're using it for, don't buy from them.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@slightlylate they're not badly built, we just actually apply our money to what we say we're going to - local communities do that best.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@slightlylate no, the argument is that local funding and implementation often leads to more accountable spending, as residents intend.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
