Don’t bet on it, I know some people who are land poor.

They own land they can hardly pay the taxes on and do not want to sell it off to pay taxes.

We've got a big fight over a local case going on. The family couldn't afford to pay the taxes on their 300 acres and they couldn't afford to fight the greenies who were opposing oil drilling on the property. The state took the property and the county ended up with the mineral rights.

As far as I'm concerned, property taxes are criminal to begin with.

Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.

I stand somewhat corrected. I was thinking more inner city population, not necessarily someone like myself who has a very small modest house and still can barely pay for the jacked-up taxes on it.
