democrats fully intend to confiscate accumulated wealth. There is no doubt about that. They will not allow anyone to call it confiscation (social media will help enforce).
They will take anything you have made or built. They will call it a tax. It will not be a tax. It will be confiscation. (Doesn’t matter if they force you to sell it to pay what they want in money. It’s still confiscation.)
The democrat party is the leading edge of the final thrust to turn this country communist (you will be forbidden to call it communist. Social media will help you comply.)
Democrats are trying to crush the middle class between the millstones of inflation and taxation.
Its what they do.
They hate the idea of middle class intergenerational wealth transfer.
They want everyone dependent and focused on the government (them) and that can’t happen if you don’t need them.
“You didn’t build that”!
BHO v3.0.
My uncle experienced JUST this. He had inherieted about 4 acres of land, in upstate New York, bordering on Braddocks Bay (an estuary of Lake Ontario).
His father-in-law had deeded it to him upon his death. Prior to that, Mr. Burger had made it a public-access park for his neighbors or whoever wanted to use it. While it was still owned by him, he allowed anyone to use it. It had two boat launches and an assortment of griller stands and picnic tables. People would often come and enjoy a summer day there.
My uncle had intended to continue this tradition, but the property taxes became so onerous, that in order to financially make ends meet, he arranged to donate it to the state to allow it to join the rest of the Braddocks Bay nature reserve... in exchange for property-tax forgiveness.
New York State taxed it until my uncle cried "Uncle!" and gave it to the state. The state removed the boat launches and picnic grills and tables, and posted "No Trespassing" signs on the access road leading to the former public park.
