It's amazing how many think the government owns their personal property. There's no way to think this is okay otherwise.

I don't think they comprehend it. They just accept it without thought.

I've been pointing that out to people for years, and the most common response is .."Yeah...but ..you know..thats how it is."

This is nonsense. If you own any other thing.."own" defined as, you have paid for it free and clear and no one else has a partnership in it. If you have bought and completely paid for something and someone else can legally take it from you for no outstanding debt, then you don't own it. Period.

If you buy a car..pay it off on time and the finance company says...."You keep making monthly payments or we'll take it away." Then you don't own it.

How is this justified?
