strange threadfellows

Here's an incongruous congruency; #ows and the sovereign citizen movement.  Both invite an erosion to the rule of law, #ows by advocating theft/occupation of bank repos, SC by tax protest and impersonation of officers.  Poverty and disenfranchisement are the prime movers of both groups, and here's a suggestion- since social problems have social solutions, why not make a legal assault on the fiction of perpetual property?  A law that reads something like, "if the bank can't sell the repo'd house in 3 months, it reverts to the defaulting buyer or is redistributed in some other way, for the common weal".  Nonflowing dollars should definitely have finite shelf life.

A certain republican presidential candidate mentions, offhand, the trio of Austrian economists upon whose philosophy his is evidently built.  But in the news, we never get more than their names, or just one...the Wikipediatubes sez they're fascisti, how bout that?
