If more people were REALLY willing to stand up to the government like this the country would be a lot better place. [http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/14112594/detail.html](http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/14112594/detail.html) > Monday, a judge told Jensen he could pay a $150 fine, do community service or go to jail for three days. He choose jail. > ‘‘Over my dead body was I going to give the state another dollar for the tolls,’’ Jensen said. :lol: :tup: I can see this happening here or in MA, both extremely over taxed states. People are starting to reach the point where they aren’t going to take it anymore. ---

this is exactly why places sell tokens, or gift cars for that matter, profit how many people have unused game tokens, or a $200 gift card with $20 left on it … once you sell someone something like this, its no longer legal tender, and therefor at any point you can refuse to accept it anymore :tup: to him standing up for whats right, and using up some of the states money in the process … 99.999% of the people out there would just bend over and take it in a situation like this ---

If they want to phase out a system of tokens they should just buy them back. HotRodKid is right. More than 10 percent of the $58.3 billion in gift cards bought this year won’t be used. ---

[quote=“FormulaLS1,post:7,topic:35435"”] Whats funny is I wonder how much it costs the goverment to put in jail for 3 days. [/quote] exactly what I was thinking. So ultimately if more people do this, they will need to raise taxes more to cover the cost of jailtime. ---
