TYRANNY.

‘On the day Bennie Coleman lost his house, the day armed U.S. marshals came to his door and ordered him off the property, he slumped in a folding chair across the street and watched the vestiges of his 76 years hauled to the curb.
Movers carted out his easy chair, his clothes, his television. Next came the things that were closest to his heart: his Marine Corps medals and photographs of his dead wife, Martha. The duplex in Northeast Washington that Coleman bought with cash two decades earlier was emptied and shuttered. By sundown, he had nowhere to go.
All because he didn’t pay a $134 property tax bill….’

    You own your property right? Property tax is not tax,it’s rent.Rent you pay to the government which if you fail to pay,the government takes your property and kicks you out in the street.Now,tell me again,do you really own your own property?

    People look at me like I’m from Mars when I tell them that.It’s immoral,it’corrupt and it’s tyrannical,but it’s also deeply ingrained to the point most just accept it.

    The best system is a sales tax system,it’s the only fair system and the only one prescribed by the Constitution.

    From the link:
    ‘One 65-year-old flower shop owner lost his Northwest Washington home of 40 years after a company from Florida paid his back taxes — $1,025 — and then took the house through foreclosure while he was in hospice, dying of cancer. A 95-year-old church choir leader lost her family home to a Maryland investor over a tax debt of $44.79 while she was struggling with Alzheimer’s in a nursing home…’

    Smith and Jones [the “Not the 9’O clock news” fame ] did a skit on it. I remember this well.

    I was shocked when I heard about this property tax thing in America, when I had some Americans visiting recently, i kept asking them in different ways about it. I just couldn’t believe that in the so-called land of the free that you had to pay property tax every year.

    At first i thought it was just rates or something so they can come pick up your trash and pipe you water, but no, that’s all extra.

    Very sad what happened to this fellow, I’m sure his fellow Americans will look after him though, plenty of good Americans left there even if some are just bastards.

      Yeah, Americans are free to pay taxes using pay checks that were taxed several times before they received it… :evil:

    At first I thought this was funny….then I realized
    the awful truth of it.
    Be sure to read all the way to the end.

    Tax his land,
    Tax his bed,
    Tax the table
    At which he’s fed.

    Tax his tractor,
    Tax his mule,
    Teach him taxes
    Are the rule.

    Tax his work,
    Tax his pay,
    He works for peanuts
    Anyway!

    Tax his cow,
    Tax his goat,
    Tax his pants,
    Tax his coat.

    Tax his ties,
    Tax his shirt,
    Tax his work,
    Tax his dirt.

    Tax his tobacco,
    Tax his drink,
    Tax him if he
    Tries to think.

    Tax his cigars,
    Tax his beers,
    If he cries
    Tax his tears.

    Tax his car,
    Tax his gas,
    Find other ways
    To tax his ….

    Tax all he has
    Then let him know
    That you won’t be done
    Till he has no dough.

    When he screams and hollers;
    Then tax him some more,
    Tax him till
    He’s good and sore.

    Then tax his coffin,
    Tax his grave,
    Tax the sod in
    Which he’s laid.

    Put these words
    Upon his tomb,
    Taxes drove me
    to my doom…’

    When he’s gone,
    Do not relax,
    Its time to apply
    The inheritance tax.
