Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
I usually spend my Sunday mornings out of town in my other home with gourmet coffee and the talking head shows, today I was on Monument Circle watching at least 1000 protestors get mad about their tax bills.
There was nothing really new said, but for me the big question is will this actually matter? You see politicians are notorious for being patient. When the public gets mad, they will simply wait until the anger subsides and then go back to business as usual.
If the people in Marion County are really upset about taxes and spending, they will express their frustrations at the polling booth (if they can get in) in November. Until then, the protests are good, but no one of this will matter if apathy takes over.
So the best way to think of it is not as a sprint, but as a marathon and who crosses the line first, the voters or the status quo.
Gentlemen, start your engines. The race is on.
