Your home is the most precious possession you could possibly achieve in your life. Destroy this and you destroy the middle class and the American Dream. Being secure in your own home IS the standard...is the American Dream.

No one "owns" their home or the land it's on. Just don't pay taxes one year and see who owns it.

Try to add a room to your home without "permission" - you'll see who owns it.

Governments have worked in collusion with the building industry for decades. Without the taxes generated with home ownership where would the govt. be?

That’s true if your situation is stable enough that you can decide to live in the same place for 25+ years. As time goes on, this becomes more and more rare in the U.S.

Family is the most precious, homes tend to lead to stability for families, but in todays market and economy, few new young couples can afford a home nor have stable employment for even one of them.

That's the problem. It's not the home's fault, it's Obama.

If you think you “own” your home, try not paying your property tax bill.
