Not to sound harsh, but...
You worry about rake first, I will worry about my opponent first. If I can then work something out with the rake, so be it, but I want loose passive opponents who play poorly and only the big places have those. If a rake free/rake reduced site gets the masses of these players, you won't need to post about it here for 95% of the 2+2 crowd to move over. Opponents are just more important than rake.

That is just stupid. The casinos in miami used to rake $2 and $1 jackpot on $10 pots, because they could and no one knew any better. Now not even the biggest fish would pay this . We need to use our power to lower rakes and incresse compition. Party rapes us worse than Tony Soprono would. I pay $5,000 a month in rake accourding to PT. I don't acctullay pay this because I always play under a bonus. Any one who would accutualy pay this money for a service thay cost the at most 10 a month per person is a sucker, pure and simple.

What power do we have, "Hey all the good players are gonna leave so all your weak players won't lose as much to use, play more and make you more in rake!" I don't think if the entire 2+2 community left Party we would even be a blip on their radar, at least a negative one. If the rake gets to high to make a profit, as in your example, then yes, I move on, but if Party, after rake, is still the place I can make the most $/Hr, then that is the place I play. Sure I want the rake reduced, but the chances of that are slim and I don't see us as having any power to affect it.
