West Virginia Tax Assessor Rethinking Plan To Stop People From Posting Public Tax Maps
from the okay,-maybe-it's-not-so-bad dept
Paul Alan Levy writes in with a followup to the story about the West Virginia Tax Assessor who was trying to prevent a website from posting public tax maps, complaining that it would take away a source of revenue. Apparently, the tax assessor is rethinking this plan. While she hasn't yet dropped the lawsuit, she has withdrawn the request for an immediate injunction and the case has been put on hold while the tax assessor and her lawyers "study" the matter.

Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official, 'You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done.'
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, 'Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong? '
The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied. 'When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water.
Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex.'
Then the chief leaned back and smiled 'Only white man dumb
enough to think he could improve system like that.'

The comedian Doug Stanhope put it in terms of gambling: Would you bet on a game where for every 5 dollars you put in, when you win you get 2 dollars back? Well you're doing it every week when you put in 5 days of work to get 2 days of fun and relaxation and maybe a 2 week vacation every year.
