This is something that really gets my goat. I live on land that has been in my family for over 100 years but If I don't make the extortion payments I will be booted off by force if necessary. What would I do if it came to that? Would I barricade myself with my trusty old longtom and say come get me? They say they have to tax to run government, to finance public schools etc, ok, I'll agree but the guy down the road with 8 children lives in a rundown rental house and I have to pay for his kids education, is this fair? There is a better and fairer way to tax us serfs, I say place a value added tax on everything you buy, fire all the beaureaucrats now being paid to collect taxes, make it simple, all states have the means collect sales tax now, it would be no problem to add on the value add tax. This seems to me to be a no brainer, the more you buy the more taxes you pay.
