Extortion in Palo Alto
21st November 2015
This short video from the Pacific Legal Foundation details an attempt by government – in this case, that of the city of Palo Alto, CA – to extort money on a grand scale from innocent people.

…those people who have been especially active at artificially reducing Palo Alto’s supply of housing for low-income people are – under the pretense of being great champions of low-income people seeking housing in Palo Alto! – now unjustly (and unconstitutionally) penalizing other people (those who, again, have actually worked hard over the years to make low-income housing more available) for now moving into another line of work.
This is the sort of cronyism hand-in-glove with government in which the Democrat party specializes. Under the guise of ‘doing something for the underprivileged’ they stand in the way of those actually doing something for the underprivileged. The poster child for this system is the whole minimum-wage scam.
