“Lubbock County, Texas Judge John Head insists that a tax increase is necessary in order to expand local government operations. In addition to a pay increase for local prosecutors, Head seeks additional funding for the sheriff’s office in order to deal with the prospect of civic unrest if Barack Obama is re-elected. Whatever Obama’s ambitions might be, the key issue for Lubbock County residents is that Judge Head is demanding more of their money to hire and equip the people who regiment their lives at the local level – which is where the retail business of tyranny is transacted.”
