freedom isn’t free I guess?
On #2 ... Your car.
The biggest one ticket item OMITTED in the list:
You will lose your priveledge to drive if you don’t get, pay and keep insurance on you and the drivers.
STATE LAWS mandate you buy insurance and you must prove it to the almighty govt even before you can pay the other ransom fees for registration, etc.
“But when those families get booted out onto the street they don’t get their down payments back. They don’t get all the mortgage payments that they have made back. The banks get to keep all of the money and all of the houses.”
I hate it when that happens. It’s like paying rent. That’s why I don’t owe anything on either of my two homes.
“When you base an entire economy on debt...” I like to think of it as debt based wealth. There is something unreal about it right up until the moment reality sets in.
“Fishing License Taxes ...Hunting License Taxes...” I look at these as good investments. It’s a small price to pay for good, fresh catfish and elk in my freezer.
Ping for later
bttt
Debt slavery is NOT capitalism!!!!
#36 - the rent you pay the government to live in what’s supposedly your own home.
Plus, through the magic of currency devaluation, here called ‘quantitative easing’, your money’s value mystically disappears.
‘...STATE LAWS mandate you buy insurance and you must prove it to the almighty govt even before you can pay the other ransom fees for registration, etc....”
WRONG!
I, Jose Gonzales do not have to pay your stinkin’ insurance, registration, taxes, social security, etc. etc.
You have to pay for me!!
And my children.
And their in-state tuition.
Bwahahahahahah!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Folks who don't want to take on debt can still do that - they won't have to worry about getting their down payment back... but they won't be living in their home for decades...
Yeap, life can be tough, but there are ways to get around being buried under a mountain of debt. Usually it is just a matter of doing with less until you can afford more. I wish I had the money to get into more real estate right now. There are a lot of bargains that will make good money when the market turns.
Well said, count-your-change.
Now, what do you suggest we do?
Bump.
imagine in a state passed a referendum declaring that driving was a RIGHT not a priveledge. This would mean due process would have to apply to all efforts to penalize or tax.
Just remember:
There is no government powerful enough to face a people willing to risk life and freedom for what they believe in.
For us, too. I am looking for a good place to go.

although it may look like my home value dropped to 50% of what it was in 2006, in real world buying power, it is now 16-20% of what it was in 2006.
the dems and progressives have done a real job on the people of the US
do the math yourself. check out zillow.com for your home value over the passed 5 yrs. plug those values in, calculate the value in terms of ounces of gold and silver... and you'll see how much you've lost
Great table for a bump
