I agree with you, on the "Everything will be OK if we can just get the right people in charge *this time*" but what is the solution? I don't see the removal of tax helping the situation at all, only worsening the issue's we all ready see around us daily.
How will taking violence out of the equation make things worse?
How else are you going to help people who need it? Charity?..... It doesn't work. People are too greedy for it to work.
