Part 1 of a recent WaPo article series outlines how federal agents are seizing private property for unpaid tax bills (some as little as $44 as Drudge notes).
Property taxes could be equated to paying rent on property you own. In a nutshell, more government theft and a loss of property rights.
The best illustration of this is a video posted below from LemonadeFreedom in which an Easton, PA man pays $7,143 of property taxes in one dollar bills to make a point. This form of protest offers a great opportunity to illustrate many great points. Ironically, the big government that has no problem stealing from the hard earned labor of others—seems to have difficulty counting the money they steal.
This strategy certainly allowed an opportunity to make a lot of great points. Maybe this should be considered by all to bring awareness to the ridiculousness of massive government and the cost of inefficiency—that comes with it.
Lehighvalleylive reports the following:
Fed up with having to pay $7,143 in school taxes for a district his children don’t attend, a Forks Township man paid that portion of his tax bill last week in single dollar bills. [...]
Robert Fernandes, a father of three, moved to Forks Township a year ago from Warren County, seeking lower property taxes for a larger home that could also house his elderly parents. Fernandes commutes to work as an IT manager for a company in Bedminster Township, N.J., while his wife home-schools the children, ages 7, 4 and 1.
Fernandes says he got a great deal on a short sale when he bought his home, but his annual property taxes total nearly $10,000. Reached by phone Tuesday, Fernandes said he doesn’t want to pay $7,143 in school taxes.
“We don’t even use the public system, yet I am being forced to pay all this money into a public school system,” he said. “I don’t think that’s really either fair or just or even ethical.
“It would be the equivalent if McDonald’s were to force vegetarians to pay for their cheeseburgers.”
