An excellent opinion piece on property taxes. Not only will they take your home for the back taxes, in some states they were keeping the rest of your equity<\/a>, just outright stealing from you. This is exactly how the government views your personal property, as theirs until such a day as they can get it. And this goes for the OCGFC who control these politicians as well. Try to leave the country and renounce your citizenship, and you have to treat all of your assets as sold at that moment and pay capital gains taxes, which if you’ve accumulated significant wealth, adds up to a serious percentage you have to give up to the federal government. And they go after it quite hard<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eroding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The North Dakota Referendum That Could Have Changed Everything<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, North Dakota held a referendum to become the first US state to abolish property taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measure aimed to amend the state constitution, eliminating property taxes and requiring the government to find alternative revenue sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proponents argued that property taxes were unnecessary since North Dakota already had ample income from state taxes and oil revenues. They also pointed out that property taxes disproportionately burdened low-income homeowners and senior citizens. Eliminating them, they claimed, would provide financial relief, boost economic growth, and attract businesses and residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a coalition of bureaucrats and special interest groups<\/strong> fought against the referendum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, voters overwhelmingly rejected the measure\u201478% chose to keep their property taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Disturbing Distortion of Property Rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people thoughtlessly accept property taxes as a normal part of life\u2014like gravity or the sun setting in the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, a crucial truth is overlooked: there is no way to fully pay off your property tax obligation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It never ends<\/strong>\u2014it follows you as long as you own the property<\/strong>, increasing year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This raises fundamental questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you really own something if you\u2019re forced to make endless, ever-increasing payments just to keep it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is obvious: No.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might possess the property, but you don\u2019t truly own<\/strong> it\u2014an important distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine if the mafia imposed a \u201ccoffee table tax\u201d<\/strong> in your neighborhood. Every year, they demand $100 for every coffee table in your house\u2014forever. If your coffee table increases in value, your payment increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mafia enforcers would assess your coffee tables annually, ensuring they extract more money. Refuse to pay? You\u2019d face threats, violence, or the outright confiscation of your coffee tables.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you say you own<\/strong> those coffee tables?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most would recognize this as extortion. Yet, the same people accept government-imposed property taxes<\/strong> without question, paying endlessly for \u201ctheir\u201d homes, offices, and land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, you are merely renting from the true owner\u2014the government.<\/strong> Stop paying, and you\u2019ll quickly learn who really owns your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governments routinely<\/strong> seize homes over unpaid property taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across North America and Europe, people pay tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes each year\u2014just to live in their own homes.<\/strong> And the burden will only increase because nearly every government is in financial distress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When politicians need more money, they raise property taxes<\/strong>\u2014like turning a thermostat dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why property taxes have nowhere to go but up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a lifetime, it\u2019s entirely possible that the government could extract more in property taxes than the value of the home itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inescapable Reality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Property rights and property taxes are inherently incompatible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s yours should be yours\u2014without having to pay for permission to keep it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why property taxes are an affront to property rights<\/strong>, which serve as the foundation of civilization itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises once said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIf history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Those who enforce, promote, and benefit from property taxes<\/strong> are the real anti-civilization forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Harsh Truth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unless you own property in one of the few<\/strong> places on Earth without property taxes\u2014such as the Cayman Islands\u2014you will be paying ever-increasing amounts for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as North Dakota\u2019s referendum proved, even when given the rare chance to eliminate property taxes, the average person will fight to keep them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s reminiscent of a pivotal scene from The Matrix<\/em>, where Morpheus explains to Neo why most people will defend<\/strong> the very system that enslaves them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when you\u2019re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This same mindset applies to property taxes. Most people are so accustomed to the system<\/strong> that they can\u2019t imagine life without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bigger Picture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Property taxes are just one piece<\/strong> of the puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same mindset holds true for inflation<\/strong>\u2014another tax that steals wealth<\/strong> from the average person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A growing majority of voters now benefit<\/strong> from government handouts, creating a built-in constituency<\/strong> to sustain policies that require endless taxation and inflation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect ever-increasing taxation and inflation<\/strong> until the system spirals out of control<\/strong>\u2014which could happen sooner than most think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people are completely unprepared<\/strong> for what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are heading toward a period of massive financial volatility<\/strong> that could wipe out life savings and retirement assets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this isn\u2019t just about a stock market crash or currency collapse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s something much bigger<\/strong>\u2014with the potential to reshape the world<\/strong> and transfer unprecedented wealth<\/strong> from ordinary people to the parasitical class\u2014politicians, central bankers, and their allies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few understand what\u2019s really happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even fewer know how to protect themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I\u2019ve put together an urgent PDF report<\/strong><\/a> outlining:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
