Private Property?

Do you own private property, or do you? Think about this. You pay various governmental taxing entities a yearly fee (rent) for the right to occupy the property. If you do not pay the fee (taxes) the government will evict you. The governmental taxing entities raise the rent (taxes) without your approval. If you fail to pay up they will evict you. If a governmental entity wants to use the property for their use they will evict you against your will if necessary. If another private party will pay more rent (taxes) than you pay they will evict you and permit the other private party to occupy the property so long as they pay a higher rent (taxes). This was confirmed by a recent Supreme Court decision.

So, do you really own the property? Or, does the government own it? Think about this the next time you vote. Government tax policies have become so confiscatory that there is cause to question whether you really own the property or the government owns it.

One of the things that made the United States of America great was the principle of private property ownership, a luxury unheard of in most other countries on this planet.
