Pranksters Pwn ‘Homeless Tax’ Opponents Yet Again
The big business interests working against November’s tax measure to fund homeless services have been hilariously trolled once again. Some online pranksters keep buying up the web domains and social media accounts that anti-tax groups want to use, and are posting satirical websites with fake quotes on those domains.

This may be the same group of prankster peeps who bought up the RightPriorityWrongApproach domain when the Chamber of Commerce announced that phrase as their official slogan last month. The Chamber quickly changed their slogan to “No Plan, No Accountability,” and sure enough, the jokers bought up that domain too.

Nicknamed Our City, Our Home, Prop C is November’s proposed 0.5% tax increase on corporations that make more than $50 million per year. These corporations recently benefited from the huge Trump tax cut.
But they’re not getting cut any slack from the online mischief-makers who keep grabbing up their domains and social media accounts.
