This protest is the shot heard around the country. Time to abolish property taxes!

More steps need to be taken. A twirl wouldn’t hurt, either.

Posters are breaking down over the breakdancer. They say he’s right.

He’s convinced me.

We should end all property taxes and the Fed.

Twist my arm, I tell ya!

End Federal income taxes and property taxes.

Shudder the now unnecessary agencies and go to a flat sales tax across the board while ensuring there are zero loopholes in the code.

This move would fill the coffers so much more effectively, and everyone pays their fair share!

A guy moonwalking in a council meeting is funny, but skyrocketing TAX bills in Jersey are robbery.

I’m convinced! We must end property taxes in every state!

Cut the taxes and then cut a rug to celebrate.

Commenters were praising the moonwalking man’s creativity.

Now that’s what I call getting your point across with style! Love seeing people find creative ways to make their voices heard at local government meetings. Definitely more memorable than the usual public comments.

Next, we’ll see concerned voters doing the robot to protest automation and ballet to end mail-in ballots. Who knows what will get voters moving next?
