Pay your house/lans off you don’t own it. Stop paying yearly property taxes and they take your home/ land that “you own”.

Pay your car, boat, etc off you don’t own it. Stop paying your tags and you can drive it.

fricking bullshite

I'll go a step further, due to income tax, you don't even own your labor. Chew on that jack!

I mean, you do not truly own your house or your cars or any property unless you keep paying the annual property taxes on them, which is a govt scam to pay 25% of the govt work force that we don't need.

Always frustrates me to go into pay property taxes and see the clerks office and sheriff's office employees all gathered around their computers on facebook and watching tiktok videos.

even if you bought it outright. Owned it for 10 years for $40,000, the sold it, you tented it for 4,000 a year.

So I agree.

Also, the more stuff you own, the more it owns you.

It all takes pieces of your time, attention and funds. Think carefully about the overhead you will commit to in total for the things you think you want to own.

I’m always amazed at how many people will vote for a tax either new or existing.

Medicare, medicaid and social secuity make of the majority of the budget by far. Got to get rid of most of that waste of money.

You should be grateful for the position of “fricked” you’re in. These are the times where you need to get on your knees and thank the Lord Universe and Jehoshaphat my man. Be mad but be grateful.

You get to take everything you own with you when you die.

Right now please join me on my knees. We can hold hands or not idc.
“dear Jehoshaphat, I am frustrated with how much life costs right now. but despite that, I will continue to pay up. And I just want to thank you, Lord today for my crosses, bc I know that the Red Sea will part and I will really truly OWN shite. One day baby. Ok amen. Let’s get this bread.

The biggest leech on society is the government, specifically our currency.

I have a 1915-S US Five Dollar gold coin that my dad paid $85.00 for in 1973 and gave to me as my 12th birthday present.

He paid Sales Tax on that original transaction.

For the subsequent 53 years I have possessed that coin.

Do I “own” it?
