Come on Vet. You post every day. You certainly know that 99.99% of Americans don't own their own land. Land is leased from the government. You get to pay for all of the up front costs and then pay property taxes. There are only a few places in American where you don't have to pay property taxes. It only makes sense to pay property taxes to fund police that will arrest you for finding something on your own property. (massive sarcasm, I am in a really pissy mood tonight)
