   If you pay a tax on property it is not your property.

   Maybe the house is yours but the land NEVER will.

   

   Get used to being just a slave.

     As long as a cancer gets blood it keeps growing. The problem is that they no longer need our money now the central banks provide them with all the cash they need. (negative interest). The complete country is now enslaved to pay the debt.

     Well Robertv, I don’t need to pay a tax on my silver, as it is 100% my silver. Yes I agree, if you have any obligations to do anything, then I wouldn’t call that owning it.

     Modern taxation is completely divorced from any historical context of reasonable and relevant contribution.

     They could just as easily name the next one the “fuck, you, just because” levy to be followed by the “my nuts in your mouth” tariff.

     The upside is that these days if you refuse to produce anything and live frugally you can siphon back almost as much as you get robbed of. Personally these days I see this as a form of economic warfare.

       Is that why economic growth is less than it used to be. Those who do well get punished. Those who don’t do well with production, are not much worse off.

         “Modern taxation is completely divorced from any historical context of reasonable and relevant contribution.”

         It’s another manifestation of socialism,remember,all of us are equal,except for some of us that are more equal than others.In this instance we who own property or produce value are taxed up the rear to pay for those that don’t or won’t.

         That’s why I am a proponent of the only “fair” tax,the sales tax.Everybody rides,everybody pays.

   Robertv, you might be interested in this: http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1952/0052/37.0/link.aspx?id=DLM270047

   If you have a certificate of title that you call your land, it is subject to encumbrances. And if you look up what emcumbrance means in a law dictionary, it means limitations and having to pay a tax on land.

   Indeed!

   Here in Seattle many of the old timers own their homes – who are 98% White and Asian – and have for years EXCEPT for the city and county taxes, which run into more per month than the original mortgage from the bank did when the house was new.

   Miss a tax payment? No problem! The sheriff will sell your house at auction for a faction of its value to a new owner who will gladly pay the tax.

   Well, after all, someone has to pay for the mass transit, the new city hall and the mayor’s new Lincoln limo!

   Consider this another yet another example of “White Privilege” *Note: Asians have been unofficially deemed “Honorary Whites” on the Pacific coast because they tend to “Act White” what with their superior educations, hard work ethic, ownership of property, large bank accounts, etc.

   …and some have been rumored to be Republicans and Tea Party members!

     Ronbo, you think that’s bad. Here in New Zealand we have a man named Gareth Morgan. The Morgan’s are a dynasty of bankers, who own stock in the Federal Reserve. He wants it to be that you have to pay 5% on all your assets per year. So if your house is worth $1 million, you have to pay $50,000 a year in assets tax.

     In my American, New Zealand and English law dictionaries which are what the courts go by, an asset is anything that can be used to satisfy a debt. When you register your automobile, if you don’t pay, they take your car and sell to satisfy that debt. When you take out a mortgage, if you don’t pay, they sell to satisfy that debt. But gold and silver are wealth, that is if you didn’t borrow money for it. Wealth is what you exclusively own with no encumbrance or any guarantee of what you will do if you can’t pay of any sort.

     Oh and in a divorce where the relationship property act applies, they can take half of everything except gold and silver bullion, and Maori land. So can you now see why I only believe in gold and silver as a real investment.

     What they are doing is nothing less than theft.

     Now Darin, KG, Ronbo and the rest of you what would you do if you saw Gareth Morgan. He has shown his true colours.
