Private property rights are the reason this country has had the success it has today. Show mw one country where the ownership of the common property in government hands has created the wealth the US system has. There isn't one. In fact, most governments despoil their holdings and their people, as evidenced by the late USSR and various African states.
Government has a place in regulating the uses and abuses of property, but is has no place in the ownership of that property in this country. My family came here because my late Father could see the encroaching socialism now holding sway in Britain; now we are headed in the same direction. Not with my acquiescence.
I don't know where you live but in my area the enviral orgs and our facist gov agencies have turned property owners into property stewards beholden to them. They're using our tax money against us to sue, condemn land and promote leftist agendas, not to mangage water or protect the environment as it was fraudulantly sold to the public.
I could tell you lots of first hand stories of mini-tyrants at work in my area but that might negatively affect your golf game.
