I think this is a more ingenuis form of protest than even the guy who did it likely knows. He's pissed that his property taxes are high, so he's being an asshole. He also said that it is hard to grasp how much money it is when you're writing a check, and I think that's definately true. But what I don't think he realizes is that is also an awesome way to protest this giant fucking huge government we have. By paying it like that, it's costing tax payers even more money. This is pretty much par for the course in government, yet they're complaining about it! They handle everything else in the stupidest, longest, hardest way possible... why shouldn't people be paying taxes in $1 bills?
I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts into writing... but you can probably get the idea of what I mean!
