Product: The COUNTY: A Dystopian Look at Municipal Government Run Amok (English Edition)
Jeb and Veronica Bolan can't get a break. The county they live in has the highest tax rate in their state. The economy of their town--which is the county seat is in the toilet, and the future looks bleak. The only way anything will change is if the idiotic individuals in charge of the county and city government quit taxing their citizens to death and ramp down their uncontrolled spending, before Jeb and Veronica find that they're homeless in a ghost town! They are just an average midwest couple trying to scratch out a living and provide for their children amidst the financial turmoil in a county intent on taxing its citizens into oblivion. The names and situations in this story are changed a little, but all are based upon true events. How can something like this happen in the moderate midwest? Unfortunately, these sorts of things go on all over the country, perpetrated by elected officials whose eyes are much larger than their citizen's pocketbooks that they are sworn to serve!
