 10:44:29.737\n\nEconomically, the lower half of the population controls 1% 
 of the federation-of-state's wealth.  The top 1% controls over 40%.  Which 
 of those two groups can afford to hire a lawyer?  Poor people are hounded 
 by debt collectors, pay a higher portion of their annual wages in taxes, 
 etc.  Of those taxes, property taxes are the most regressive.  Renters pay 
 property taxes and renters are typically in the poorer portion of the 
 spectrum.  It's the masses of poorer people who pay for the existance of 
 local and county governments.\n\nThe once public Alameda County Law Library 
 is hosting it's FOURTH debt collection seminar in as many months.  There is 
 a book for sale and continuing education credits available.  As poverty 
 increases, lawyers are being hard pressed for clients.  This is one of many 
 questionable services they are chasing after.  It's essentially the last 
 licking clean of the carcass.  Is this something that a county government 
 should be facilitating?  The county collects the property taxes that are 
 then shared with the municipal corporations and the state.\n\nLet your 
 county supervisor know that these types of seminars should not be 
 happening.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/10/28/18763443.php
