Don't believe me -- just stop paying the taxes on it for a few years, and see who takes it.
Think you own it, wait till a Township decides that you belong in their town and they annex your property -- without consent -- then put their rules to you, even fining you if you don't comply.
Think you own land - try to build a huge lake on it. Government will come in and fine you because you have slowed down the water that used to run off the land.
Think you own land - oil companies who own the mineral rights can come on your land and take the oil from under it without your permission, and just give you the 1/8 landowner amount.
Think you own land - just keep thinking -- you don't own anything that any group with POWER - be it government, municipal, large company, etc can't take AWAY anytime they want to.
That is without the rights of imminent domain.

This healthcare bill just deteriorated a few more of your "rights" and set this country a little closer to having to have a different "government". How close we are is debatable.
