rural folks can maintain independance longer then those stuck in cities.

I agree....and have lived in the "sticks" for over 20 yrs. I'm sure it wouldn't be comfortable if there were a crisis.....but I know I'd survive due to the land. (35 wooded acres, 3 creeks and tons of fish)

Unfortunately, it's sounding more and more like it won't matter if you own the land you live on. Commies confiscate anything and everything.

Well, yes, I understand what you are saying. Taxes on property will get ratcheted through the roof, and the Banks (now run by the government) will claim that if you don't pay up, the land is theirs. They can succeed at removing a few people here and there, but a massive refusal to leave combined with an armed rural populace will make this a messy affair.

And in the USA, nobody really does, thanks to property taxes which we voted for!
The truth is, we all pay "rent" to the government for the "privilege" (notice, the government no longer considers it a right) to occupy a tax parcel.
That's all.
Some just get to occupy nicer tax parcels than others, depending upon their ability to pay.

And, the government may aribtraily decide to raise the rent, and in most cases does so every year, so that people who are under the misguided impression that they actually "own" their homes outright (they say their home is "paid for") are forced off the tax parcel because of a rapid rise in tax "assessment" which the "owner" cannot afford to pay.
