I have evolved past DU in using the BantheGOP motif. Many of you know of my other alter-ego "Maurice Ramtor"whom, despite the actual public nature of such spoofing by posting here in CC, the Daily Breeze continues to publish Ramtor's inane blathering in their letters section.
Now, I have a few other irons in the fire with various groups using various names, at this point I'm being mum on the actual campaigns in which I illustrate absurdity by being absurd myself. This leads to my following conundrum.
I have been corresponding with an agency in which I may convince to create a proposition for the California initiative process in 2016. This proposition would introduce "reparations for Californian minorities" to be "financed by a wealth tax on Calfornia's privileged class." Obviously, even that much information is letting some information out; however, they themselves have leaked enough on their own so I'm not worried about being id'd yet.
I believe that I can convince them to go through with this proposition. This would involve several things:
1. They would have to spend $8,000 bucks to start the process.
2. They would have to spend hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars in obtaining "valid" signatures.
3. They would then have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting this cockamanie crap.
My goal was to get this publicized so I can show the absurdity of the movement and the real intent, which is transferring wealth from the productive to the non-productive leeches. In addition, monies spent on this hilarious initiative would be money that would NOT be used for other progressive crap. But I also realize that, in California, such an initiative would have the possibility of passing, which would then impact taxes of several million people, of whom their money may be diverted from other investments which would take away jobs from productive people. (I can follow the real money trail.)
My conundrum: Should I go through with this, acknowledging the risks? Or am I opening a can of worms at this point? In other words, is the risk at facilitating the position of government run truly amok to many of the "mid-" information voters, so they renounce their progressive tenets, worth it to creating actual policy that can become Frankenstein's monster in its implications?
