Let's look at it this way. Every other day we read of some goober who falls off a cliff while taking a selfie. They're responsible for their own death, right?

In the same way this homeowner was responsible for not paying her thousand bucks.

The difference with the homeowner is that someone is pushing her off the cliff.

"We should stop putting up with theft". That extends to homeowners who don't pay their taxes.

I don't consider money I make to be the property of the government. I don't regard refusing to give them *MY* money as "theft." I consider them taking it against my will as theft.

I pay a lot of theft, I don't know about you.

"Pay the thousand bucks, or I'll push you off the cliff."

"All right. Sounds good. Go ahead."

Seriously? Is this the basis of which you want to argue on? Sheesh.

So now you equate payment of taxes as theft. Got it.
