I agree and posted the same thing in a few different threads! You can prep all you want, as long as you realize they WILL go after property! Obama always said, you will own nothing by 2030!! Survivalist skills will be most important!!The fatal flaw in the black market idea is that one must have something to trade. That is all well and good until your lack of access to a bank account means you can't pay the property taxes or a mortgage if you have one.
Property tax is a major tool in the tool box to get you to own nothing and be unhappy. They are already positing the idea of raising the property taxes in some popular cities to force people out to solve the housing shortage.
Never under estimate a beurocrats ability to problem solve.
Unless one can bribe the govmint official who runs that dog and pony show, it's going to be much more difficult to produce something to trade.
you and i both know the rural economy is alive and well...it can jump start overnight too.It might work if you live in a closed community, as much as possible. I worry about property taxes, too. Maybe that's where gold or silver come in. In any case, I am not wanting to be a serf, and just hoping to be living with other hard workers that don't want to be serfs either.
I have thought that this will be one of the ways that they will get people, through property taxes. Since I paid off my mortgage a few years ago, I have been keeping cash to pay for the taxes for next year. That is all well and good until the cash won't be considered legal tender.The fatal flaw in the black market idea is that one must have something to trade.

I have thought about this as well. Will the taking of land be done due to Marshall Law, or some other government order? I don't know, but I am expecting it to happen.Since learning about the Bolshevik revolution decades ago, I often tried to imagine being a poor farmer (not that big of stretch), and having the police come and tell me that I no longer own nothing and all is owned by the state.
My land that I literally sacrificed blood sweat and tears for my whole life. My tractors. My swather. My rusty collection of functional implements. My irrigation system -much of it installed alone in freezing rain because my hired help quit from the discomfort of the circumstances. Basically every known sacrifice and suffering denied by the couch sitters pulling the levers to elect their favorite communists!
And then I imagine somehow surviving my bloody attempt to protect all that I have earned. And I see what the state does with my hard earned capital. Idiots calling the shots on what is political popular to plant. And when. And how. My farm ran by beaurocrats? A disaster that I unwillingly survived to witness. And to top it all I'm hungry! The vodka only gives a temporary reprieve of my suffering!
I had a discussion with someone about this several years ago. It will property taxes that will make people homeless.The bigger danger at the moment, is that they are quadrupling or more, the taxes to drive people off their property. It won't be long before the tax payment equals a mortgage payment.

In Texas they freeze your school taxes when you turn 65 yrs old. My county has horrendous property taxes!!Do people get property tax breaks at some age in each state...??? I am not sure, but I think I have not paid property tax in 15 years. And no income tax either.
