Why do you need more land, for instance, than the amount you can physically occupy? If you plant crops in an area of land, why take the whole crop for yourself? You have to preserve the food, or it will go to waste. Is it better for it to go to waste?

I have no need for material possessions, I can take none of them with me when I'm dead.


WOW, this is a GREAT post!!! This is the way that I think too!

In regards to what the other poster said, "most of us live in the real world." Not to be argumentative, but, I wish more people like you that live in this, so called, "real world" would investigate it more then just blindly excepting it.

This so called "real world" that you live in has been entirely created for you, so no, it's not real; its artificial and EXTREMELY corrupt!

Many people worry that human civilization would collapse if extra terrestrial beings were discovered but the truth is that all modern civilization would collapse if most in the population knew that all the problems, wars, and stolen wealth were all caused by a small group of family's that run the show through corrupt governments, churches, modern media and other large agency's that are created to control people.

The cycle is hard to break because all of you go to school thinking you are learning but how are you learning if they don't tell you the truth? They don't tell you the true history of your nation and that was founded on stolen land. If by chance they do tell something, they paint a vague picture for your mind.

Ha, the United States of America is ONLY a corporation and your current leader is the president; just like any other corporation. Many people don't realize that America; which is a corporation, is owned by England. The Queen of England owns your @%%.

Every person that is issued a birth certificate in America is a commodity that is bought and sold on the stock market. Don't believe me? Do your homework as to why your full name is spelled in all capital letters on all of your bills. i.e. JOHN DOE

Ah no wonder I have been feeling a little down lately, the corporation that "owns" me must have had it's stock share prices go down this last couple of weeks.

Now back to reality, I think a couple of posters need to find their medicine again, badly!

Have fun getting that one on the books

How would you punish those that currently commit the crime of "owning their home"?

I really would like to know how, exactly, you support yourself and in what fashion?

It might be for me or it might not.

Just curious.

Democrats proposed such an idea many years ago. It didn't fly. They wanted to tax the "rental value" of a home that you owned.

If the Dem. think this is a good idea ....guess how many people would live the country and take their money abroad....This will never be a bill IMO, but with Obama you never know...we all know that people will losse money on their 401K when Obama would be the president...he is going to raise capital gaines so even the little man and woman will be hit hard under Obama...If that is what you want than vote for Obama, otherwise be smart and vote for the plan that creates jobs and that is McCain....the companies can only create jobs if they don't pay more taxes....just a simple economy lesson, you don't have to be smart to figure that one out!

I earn enough money to pay for food and shelter...what happens to the rest of the money, I have NO idea, because I have no interest in what happens to it. My girlfriend, who does not work, handles the finances. I could care less about money, as long as I have one meal a day and a roof over my head.

But I don't OWN my home either.
