WE, are not slaves.

[scoobert]

Everyone who lives on land and owns a house in a nation, or locality, that charges property tax, is a slave.
In fact, you don't own land, or a home.
You rent it from the government.
Stop paying your rent, see what happens.
So i propose, the only free ones are those on boats, with no ties to land.
We can drop our anchor, fish, and live for free.
Sure, there is upkeep, and maintenance on our homes, they have such things on land too!

Are we the future?
Just here in NY, USA they raise the property tax each and every year.
Last year in my town, it was raised 5%.
Not only that but they keep raising the value of your land.
I bought my land for $28,000. its now valued at $50,000.
To put this in prospective, the land across the street that is slightly smaller then mine, sold for less then $10,000 this summer.
My land and school tax this year was well over $1500, compared to $500 when i purchased the place 5 year ago.
Biggest mistake i ever made.
All thru life i was told, buy land, the ultimate investment. What a crock.
Even in the best economy, property tax soaks up all the gain in value you may have.

So what can we as boaters learn here?
Buy a boat that you can comfortably live on, that requires low maintenance,
move aboard young, enjoy for life!

Life on land will get worse. Land tax is not going to stop going up. Neither is income tax. All we can do is be self sufficient, work for each other for goods, and do our best to survive this mess that global government has us in.
Eventually they will nuke each other to death, and we can move back to land.
