Taxes

1. You earn income and are charged an income tax: federal, state, local, social security and Medicare.

2. You buy property and are charged a sales tax, recording fees, registration, etc.

3. Every year you are charged a property tax on that property.  That’s right.   You pay for your property every year.   So you never really finish paying for it, do you?  If you haven’t finished paying for it, then you don’t really own it.

4. If you leave your property to someone there is an inheritance tax.  That’s right.   It has to be paid for again.

If you don’t pay all of these taxes, you lose your property or go to jail, or both.  More evidence that you don’t own it.  The reality is that we only rent property.  Slowly but surely, like a frog in the pot, private ownership has slipped away from us.

Your property requires a license to operate or a registration or insurance or certificate of occupancy or some other fee(s) to use.  Real Estate is subject to eminent domain seizure.  You can’t remodel your house or modify your car without permission of the real owners (government).

Wake up!

I find inheritance and property taxes to be the most foul and immoral of all taxes.  It is through them that no Citizen is ever able to extricate himself from the tyranny of our economy.  He is compelled by force to pay the government what it deems a reasonable rent on his own property.  He pays for the land with wages that have been taxed; pays a sales tax as well with those same taxed dollars; he must still pay rent in the form of a property tax on his own land to the government.  If he manages to stay on the land and “leave it” to his progeny, they must, in effect buy it again, or he who left it, pay for it again, by paying an inheritance tax.

Private ownership in the United States of America is an illusion.  There is no private ownership of land in the United States.  There may have been once, but there is not now.  This is one of the main reasons that I created the Frog in the Pot website: to wake people up to the slow erosion of our rights.

So why not just pay for the government with a flat rate income tax and/or sales tax?  Who can figure out how to fill out their tax forms now?  Is it possible that the tax laws are written as confusing as they are to justify the existence of the IRS?  How much of the Federal Revenue comes from penalties and fees generated by well meaning but confused taxpayers?  I wonder and so should you.  I will follow up on these questions in future articles.
