Shakedown in Philly, Continued

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
As we've noted previously, Philadelphia is presided over by a mayor - appropriately named Michael Nutter - who is engaged in a vulgar shakedown. Referring to people who supposedly owe various municipal taxes, Nutter has declared: "We want our damn money. You owe it, we want it, and I plan to collect it." Nutter's administration couples a porcine appetite for revenue with a certain depraved creativity in making so-called tax scofflaws out of innocent people. It recently devised a way to impose a $300 tax - disguised as a "business privilege license" -- on residents who maintain internet blogs.
