Never listen to the people who yell "this time is different".
Really, every time is 'different' and every time it isn't different.
In the end, a man has to make his own decisions for what he think
will work best for him. Property taxes have taken away many homes,
farms, etc, in the past -- we have become better at taxing; property
taxes could take away that which no-one now is even considering.
Things might be different this time, why does one man need more than
five acres (or 3 acres or whatever), maximum? Maybe a federal
property tax on 'excess' acreage is what people will think we need to
pay off our debts. Since the vast majority of people live on less
than an acre , the vast majority of people would not have a problem
voting for people who would enact such a tax.
Now, personally, I would not have done as he did. I can say that
with certainty, becuase everything that was going wrong with his
Krona is going wrong 'worse' with the USD, and I haven't even
considered doing what he did. The only difference I see between the
dollar and the Krona is that one is backed by the world's largest
arsenal of weapons and the other isn't. I still have money in all
sorts of varied investments. With me, Gold is included, but not
exclusive. So , regardless of what happens , I'll at least have
enough to eat and move about.
thing is for a man/ woman to know that it is his life, his future,
and to do what he thinks is best for himself and his. I think what
is best for me is to be rural, whether times become as awful as some
are predicting, or whether this is just another bad recession , as
others are predicitng. I think I still have time left to make my
exit from the city more efficient, and my time afterward, more
enjoyable. So I will take that time.
You are smart on this issue and ,as impotant, you are very good at
putting your thought to paper. I am terrible at writing what I am
thinking. Prepare the best you can prepare, but don't forget to
continue to have fun. Sometimes people get so caught up in the
survival aspect , they forget the fun. That might be surviving, but
it isn't living......
