“It comes as a surprise to most Americans that the federal government owns nearly one-third of the nation’s land mass, in excess of 640 million acres. (It also owns 1.7 billion acres of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), but that is another story.)”
I am absolutely sick of this subliminal deceptive psyops and willfully wrong perspective and narrative.
THE “GOVERNMENT” DOES NOT OWN IT PERIOD!
WE THE PEOPLE OWN IT AS “PUBLIC PROPERTY IN COMMON”. “FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROPERTY” IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!”
And we should fix this deception every time we see it!
YOU ARE CORRECT-—
THOSE OF US WHO “OWN “ OUR PROPERTIES PAY PROPERTY TAXES.
FEDS PAY NOT A DIME.
