Private company wishes to build hotel on Justice Souter's land :)

[Otherguy Overby]

Cracked Butt, there are still some areas with very few restrictions. Where I am, the restrictions are: If you want to build something with plumbing and a toilet, some part of the land must pass a perc test for septic. You also can't drill a well withing 100 feet of a septic tank/drain field.

That's it.

Of course, it is in an unincorporated area. I could put in a chicken farm, doze off all the trees, put up any buildings I want, whatever. No permits required. Yes, I have to pay taxes, but they are on the low side (less than 1/2 of 1% of value) for what I own.

I can shoot anytime I want, hunt the king's critters during a government approved season or poach anytime with very little risk of getting caught.

Lastly, I do agree with you that if the government can tax it and take it away from you for some reason, you don't really own it. I'm just lucky enough to have found an area where there remains some standard of: it's yours, do what you want with it.

Actually used the word, 'revolt'! I didn't call her on it and ask her if she thought it would be OK to use firearms for this revolt.

Yeah, what's she gonna revolt with? My house's smoke detectors are going off, I think from all the cogs finally beginning to turn in the anti-gun liberals' minds.

You don't own property, you rent it from the government.

Ding! Ding!

Don't believe it? Try not paying your rent (property taxes) and see how long it takes for them to begin reposession proceedings...

The government owns all real estate in the U.S. and only rents it to the citizenry.

REAL ESTATE.

That's literally translated 'Royal Property', which a monarch's subjects could merely obtain tenancy over, but never actual ownership. God forbid Americans could actually own their homes and land ---or else they'd have some power over their rulers.

The Free World looks to you guys in ways you may not be aware of.
Fight this.

Souter's two-story colonial farmhouse is assessed at a little more than $100,000 and brought in $2,895 in property taxes last year.

I am SO sick of elitist, traitorist bastards passing/interpreting/enforcing laws in a blantantly unConstitutional fashion, and expecting that they are immune from these laws, that I will personally pay the local government $3000 in taxes a year just to take his house away. I will sign a contract stating so. There. Now they have a guaranteed increase in precious "revenue". Now take his house!

For those that say that it would be wrong, tough. It is time to fight fire with fire.

I think we should file similar requests to seize any and all property (not just land) from all of the five Supreme Court yahoos that obviously cannot read at a fourth grade level.

Amen Flech???? why don't you get a simpler name?

And if you'll grant me a month in the summer and a month in the winter living there, I'll pay half the taxes.

Deal?

Sounds good to me! We could probably get a lot of people willing to spend a few bucks to seize property from Supreme Court yahoos. Hmmmm....I feel an idea perculating...

Anyhow, what's so complicated about my name? I have thought about changing it (bored) but then I'd lose my precious "senior member" standing and become a lowly newbie again. (yes, that is superficial).

 

[ravinraven]

alzhighmeer's. can't remember a name from start to finish. I had a prof named So one ime. Later a friend named Hu. About right!

One good thing about this decision is that we can file on the houses of pols we don't like. Say members of the town board who file on someone else's property. You might not get their digs, but you'd keep them busy fighting the actions. Just the minute one action bites the dust, somebody else file another.

If this idea catches on, every lawyer involved in every case owes me a commission. My idea!

Seems to me you could just turn his NH house into a time-share. NH would make a lot more in tax revenue.

It's way too easy to get swept up in the fun of looting.

Looting is a lot like violence. If you stand on an ivory tower and simply state the "violence is bad" you are a pacifist, and evil people will walk all over you. If you stand around when someone is getting mugged and you simply say, "It's none of my business" again, criminals prevail. Someone, somewhere needs to give these elitists a bloody nose.
