In a story from YaHoo News, the government in India has employed terrorizing tactics to force homeowners to pay up their property taxes.
“After many residents ignored repeated demands to settle overdue property taxes. authorities in a city in Andhra Pradesh state have sent 20 groups of drummers to play outside offenders’ houses for the past week.
“They don’t stop until people agree to clear the dues.”
The new method seems to be working, though. One week of incessant drumming has cleared 18 percent of the backlog.”
Great idea, but it would never fly over here. I can see the line of lawyers forming already to file suit and wage war in the name of human rights.
