At the moment, I'd say oil prices are more strongly connected with the protests and in particular Gadaffi's refusal to step down.

Do you guys protest the increases when this happens?

We hire a company to protest our property tax bills on our behalf.

For this year property tax protest, could the money I used to restore the property be counted as repairs in attempt to lower the tax value?  

@Dave Foster "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"  What exactly in my statement to Steve was material and demonstrably false? 

I think it should be mandatory listening for the idiots at the "Occupy" protests across the country.

My prediction is that this wealth gap will grow further in the next two years, but if our economy tanks again, or we hit real inflation, you can expect social unrest, cause I sense a sh*t-storm brewing from my vantage point here in SF, with all the protests about middle class people getting priced out.

For Morris to protest he didn't know what was happening now...it's a classic Big Lie....in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.Adolf Hitler
