California Seizing Safety Deposit boxes

The State of California has stooped to looting the contents of safety deposit boxes to bolster state funds.

I hate my state more and more every day.

See my post at 39.

A perfect example being property tax on homes. You get to say you own a home as long as you continue to pay your rent to the government.

It costs our military about 2 percent of an asset's worth per year to defend it from invaders. People that own stocks, bonds, gold, and cash get sort of a free ride in that respect. We could use some rebalancing in what is taxed. Most people are willing to pay the military cost to protect their stuff from the envious.

They could raise a lot of money fast if they would allow people to make a discounted lump-sum payment to settle all future property taxes on homes.

That lump-sum payment would have to be astronomically high. On the order of millions of dollars - even for just, e.g., a 2-bedroom single-family dwelling in the 'burbs. No sane person would voluntarily opt for that.

In the liberal/communists capitol of the World (Kalifornia) suing the government is impossible. Can't win. Here in this defunk State we are slaves to the “Union of the Soviet State of California”.

And notice this ‘poster’ has not replied even one time to anyone. The blog article is 3 years old? What is the point of posting it now? And like you pointed out, posted a teaser headline and link only.

I don’t know if the blog is his/hers, but I’m not clicking on it. Is it time to call Humblegunner in?

State of California plans to open graves to check for gold teeth.

[TruthConquers]

I wouldn’t put it past them!

[paulycy]

most likely with ugly parents ugly spouses and ugly children.

You keep calling pimpbusters names and my twin sisters will likely try to kick you in the shins.

I thought it was a constitutional issue that you could sue in Federal Court under due process.

You should also include in this any Iron, Brass, Lead, Powder and Polymer!
The kind of things needed when TSHTF!

Paul, get off that roll you’re on today at once!

You’re giving me a stomach ache from laughing.

This is a serious thread, and it has been time traveling as well. The OP is engaging in blog pimping so egregious that even Minn objects. No mean feat.

I would engage the OP, but it is doubtful that he is even still here at all.

IBTZ.

I’d rather be ugly than illiterate.

It’s “gist”.

[Allegra]

But when it comes to a blogger posting only a teaser headline and a link, I would probably have to agree with them.

Does that mean you have ugly parents, an ugly spouse and ugly children?

You don’t know how right you are!!

From the report:

“with an internal memo objecting to efforts to to find the owners on the grounds that “It could well result in additional claims of monies that would otherwise flow into the general fund.”

What’s next? Piggy banks?

Yep. Piggy banks for grownups...

They are just waiting for the right "crisis" and they will grab "their" money.
