Measure Fails When No One Votes in Iowa Town’s Sales Tax Election

Measure Fails When No One Votes in Iowa Town’s Sales Tax Election
Here is a story that any freedom lover can appreciate. Now we need to find a way to effect more voter boycotts on tax issues.
If no one votes in a referendum, does the measure pass or fail? That was the question facing local officials after no one voted in Tuesday’s local option sales tax election in Jesup, Iowa.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
