I'm a home owe-ner.

Actually nobody owns their own home. The government owns it.

try not paying your taxes sometime...Or to really prove who owns your home, try not paying your mortgage or your taxes and observe what the bank gets

Out here in the boonies, people are now pretending to sell their "homes."

This has been going on for over a year now.

June 12 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. foreclosure filings surged 90 percent in May from a year earlier as more homeowners fell behind on their monthly mortgage payments, RealtyTrac Inc. said.
Forclosure filings rise 90% in May

Ouch! Pay the mortgage or pay for gas?

``Such strong activity in the midst of the typical spring buying season could foreshadow even higher foreclosure levels later in the year,''

Yes, a fixed mortgage in a time of inflation is not a bad idea - but remember also that in the 170's property taxes skyrocketed. That's why Prop 13 was born in Calif.

Considering everyone's job will be incredibly unstable, having debt - especially debt connnected to a primary residence is not a great idea.

Miss a few payments or a tax payment and your 'equity' evaporates and you and your family are on the street.

Foreign companies have are buying everything. Roads, water, electricity. You dont even own your own national parks anymore.

House nearly taken away over $1.63 tax bill

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n 1996, the $1.63 bill was sent to a defunct address and returned as undelivered. The Atwoods weren't looking for it, because they had owned the four-bedroom house mortgage-free since 1968 and had been exempt from the state tax.

Somehow I've never heard of an old lady being deprived of her house over $1.63 in any Socialist country.

[gnm]

You don't own your land in an (officially) socialist country either.. And yes they do seize property on a whim... Maybe you can tell the difference between current western governments (US too) and socialism.... I can't...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'y')eah. Don't folks get the house for free in those nasty socialist countries? "to each according to their needs, from each according tot their means." You got two houses. I got no houses. Now we both have one house. sounds nice.

Case in point.

That also shows why it's very important to have a community network of friends if that's at all possible (in many places in the US it's not).

The Mormons may be a cult, but they're not the cold motherfuckers average Americans are, and they know all about the US trying to wipe them out. Remember Utah was not part of the US when the Mormons walked there to flee US genocide efforts.

More and more we'll see the need to find our tribe, whatever tribe that may be, to stand up against the capitalists.
