The county and the state are desperate for “revenue,” and complying with the orderly political process is exactly what they count on. Letter-writing, petitioning, and complaining are polite futile gestures. Everybody knows it, but few dare to say so. The only way that this sort of activity will change is when it becomes unreasonably costly for it to continue.

The Boston Tea Party wasn’t polite. It was an act of resistance to a government more concerned with "revenue" than with individual liberty. It was also a response to a government that had lost its legitimacy.

If, hypothetically of course, citizens were to initiate similar action, the cost of constant repair and enforcement would certainly enter the equation. Hypothetically of course.
