You're right about this, Popo. In many cases, the heir or heirs to a home cannot afford to keep it because of heavy taxes and must sell it.

There are loop-holes to this--a Family Limited Partnership, for example--but they are cumbersome and difficult and have a downside.

The worst of it is that getting taxes away from the politicians is practically impossible. Once politicians--who form our de facto ruling oligarchy--get their greedy hands on our money, they NEVER let it go.

They use it, of course, for their own aggrandizement and to get and keep themselves in power.

Unfortunately millions of Americans cannot comprehend this. They accept the politicians' bribes of bread-and-circuses in return for votes, and they support these greedy parasites by feeding their hunger for more and more money and power.

If you can figure out how to solve this basic problem, you will save our beloved nation.

Our brilliant Founding Fathers foresaw it, but their vision was inadequate to prevent it.

“Our brilliant Founding Fathers foresaw it, but their vision was inadequate to prevent it.”

No they built in an adequate way to stop it dead in it’s tracks if necessary. It’s called the Consitution Right to Bear Arms. The elites know this is the only real thing stopping the corrupt political engine from realizing ultimate socialist utopia. They have worked overtime on this for 20 years and cannot end-around this despite unlimited stealthy attempts to circumvent We the People.

They also know the day they actually find a way to accomplish this is the first day of the American Revolution part two. Our military would unlikely be on the side of the corrupt politicians trying to crush 60 million gun owners.

“Cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy.”

The people of this country by and large cannot be bothered to learn about their country and protect the institutions that made it great.

My generation (80’s baby) from what I have seen in school is split in such a way as to ensure the continuation of an oligarchy. 80% don’t care about politics or history, of the 20% that do only a small sliver at the top are well read and can analyze and debate ideas. They split into factions getting the other 20% to line up with them and the anytime they can whip up the other 80% they win a debate in school.
