The Death of Howard Jarvis
- Share via
Americans in general and Californians in particular ought to erect a memorial to Howard Jarvis, a man who really did something for the benefit of many John Does.
He was sick and tired of being ripped off continually and had the guts to say so. As we can see in retrospect, the state of California got along very well without these millions of dollars, millions upon millions, the state was pulling out of people’s pockets “under the law.”
Yes, it would be high time that many more men like Howard Jarvis would get up and remind us that we are at wits’ end to be made fools of, be it by the government or by fellow citizens.
