It would be hard for me to go to a SanPedrano and say "I pay $200 in taxes on my half a million dollar condo and you are not paying your $10 in taxes on your $25K house. You are the problem".

I think I, and people like me, are the problem more than the guy not paying his pennies in back taxes, and are the solution. First in setting the example and mood that we are willing to pay what is needed and then addressing issues like collecting from the guy who probably can't afford it.

It will take a united community to force the politicians to do what is needed and a "rich gringo" paying what he pays in taxes telling a poor San Pedrano he needs to pay more will not unite. I am not one of those saying that.
