??? Every person who believes in the right of Americans to actually OWN property, without paying the government a never ending tax (which really means you're renting from the government) ...
... needs to remember that the Founders of the United States believed that property rights weren't just about what you already have. They were also about your right to ACQUIRE property.
Six of the founding States constitutions speak of the right of “acquiring, possessing and protecting property.” (1)
Nowhere is there even a hint that government has the right to give you the ILLUSION of ownership. Once purchased, a property was expected to be yours and yours alone.
And, in protecting that property, you should be able to prevent any agent of the government from sinking his/her/its claws into what rightfully belongs to you.
Wouldn't it be great if we had statesmen/women today who would stand up for the rights of property owners against the horrific overreach demonstrated by the state and federal governments?
