The state of California would not be bankrupt if Prop 13 DID NOT apply to Commercial properties.

Yes it would. I live in SoCal. The pols here can't stop spending, period! An LA county sup want to remodel his office, it will cost over a million dollars! He also represents the poorest communities too! We also have the highest welfare population in the country because we "give" so much to "help" the needy! Our politicians are corrupt and need to go!

This is WHY I don't own land.(and neither do you if your honest)

If I could truly own land, it would not be taxed on a regular basis. 501c3's is the only way. Live as a community and share the land, tax free under the law.

I can not in good conscious pay property taxes that goes to the public eduction system that makes government the programmer of our kids.(and parents that cannot be parents deserve a shot with inferno pepper spray)

Higher land taxes/people unable to pay are essential to Agenda 21. The plan is, to have all people taken off private as well as federal land and moved to "Population Centers".

People need to wake up!

The first step to a solution, is repudiate the federal Constitution of 1787, using it's own powers to "alter or abolish" the government it created, this power is only accorded to genuine "posterity". Just because a group of 40 men gathered in 1787 to sign a document, in no way binds those alive today who did not sign or approve of it. After a fair amount of study, I agree with Patrick Henry who said of the constitutional convention, "I smell a rat!" And that rat is the source of the problems of the people of America and the cause of hatred from abroad. I won't blame this on George Bush, don't blame the player, blame the system.

The first step in making any person a contributor to society, is giving them the means. There was a time when the land was given to tribal families, not to be sold, and that any mortgage was forgiven in the "Year of Jubilee" and all lands returned to the rightful heirs. I can't think of a better system.

I think that America should resort to the Articles of Confederation which existed from 1776 to 1787, which necessarily returns the country to 50 independent states or nations, repudiate the national debt, the people are the rightful owners of the lands currently under federal control in their respective states, let them have it, there is no advantage in government controlling the land.

Once the Constitution is abolished, the debt repudiated, and the land returned to the people we will prosper. All the wealth will still be here, all the land will still be here, all of our children and grand children will have a future, I'm sure that's what we all want.

WOW.....I went on there and looked up my old house (Dad sold it a few years before he passed). Taxes on that place (a little over a 1/4 acre) is $5600!

Glad I don't own a place in WI. Sheesh!
