Grandpa was farming on land far away that has been in the family almost 400 years, and I moved west because all the expanding federal designations in the area make it impossible to legally cut down a tree planted by his grandmother on land the family has owned since well before there was a United States or a Federal Government.
So much for careful stewardship--it only makes the land more desireable for the government to steal.
Maybe you don't understand the nature of the problem.
Maybe you are part of it.
It is not just limited to what the Federal Government owns today, but what it encroaches on and is acquiring daily--not just by title but by designation and control.
I guess 246,000,000 acres of land the government owns outright just isn't enough for our government to take out of commission.
Read this and get a clue as to the continuing nature of the problem.
If your property is bordered by sidewalks, this might not affect you much, but for the rest of us, in times when the country is deeply in debt, I have to ask why is our government not doing what ordinary people do?
Selling some assets and covering its debts, instead of taking on more and cutting its revenues.
