I once heard someone jokingly say the difference between chickens and humans is chickens don’t warn the next generation about Chick-Fil-A. Given the cyclical nature of human events, I think it’s safe to assume humans and chickens have much more in common than we’re comfortable to admit.

A few of you may recall that we have an overzealous tax assessor here in the Missouri Ozarks whose curiosity about our progress on our log home has been annoying.
Well, we decided that it was time to inform the tax assessor that we have decided our home can be occupied, which means they can now tax it as a residence. We assumed they have some sort of drive by assessor/appraisal system in place, but we assumed wrong. We got a letter from the tax assessor yesterday that included a customized form letter (Meaning, to me, it appears to have been made just for the purpose of placing a value on a home such as ours.) that is meant to place a taxable value on our home. Well, we certainly know what we paid for the materials. We also know what we paid for the contract labor. That is exactly what we planned to name as the “value” of our log home.
However, this form has a place to list and describe the things that we have done to finish the home, to the point of asking how much labor we put into the things that we finished on the home.
They want to tax us on our own initiative and efforts of sanding, staining, and varnishing our lovely oak log home, IF we had done any of that. We, of course, have NOT.
If we had spent hundreds of hours of our own time improving this place, how exactly would they place a dollar value on that to tax us? Would they have an area wage determination scale that would tax our efforts for drywall work at union scale?
Luckily, we just moved into the unfinished home, tossed up a few sheets as doors and called her good. And until the bastard comes with a search warrant to enter our home, the tax assessor will have to accept that.
What the hell is going on in this country?

Maggie, what’s going on in this country is the same that has been going on for generations-the slow erosion of liberty and the right to own property. Your county tax assessor is simply letting you know that soon you will receive the occupancy bill for inhabiting the governments land and house. It is not yours because the state has now claimed ownership and you, as the serf (like me and any others who own land), will pay what is asked or be escorted off at gunpoint by state enforcers.
By imperial decree the state has already claimed ownership of virtually everything. IF THEY CAN TAX IT, THEY OWN IT, including your paycheck and your property. Now the only impediment to their insidious scheme is the amount of cash in the system. If the state can eliminate cash then they truly will control all that they see.
Fuck ’em all.

It gets worse. My local business property tax requires me to 1) value every item I own 2) value it at the original purchase price, not its replacement value 3) Use the original price paid by the original owner despite the fact that I have no way of knowing who the original owner was or what they paid 4) Use the full retail price regardless of whether or not the item has any value at all (think of the value a bin of old computers has relative to the sum of the original retail prices) 5) Value at retail anything that I have made based on what it would sell for if I sold it (not what it cost me to make) 6) Apply no depreciation to any item claimed prior 7) Subject myself to extreme penalties and/or jail time if I don’t comply fully.
A) the above list is impossible to comply with because I can’t possibly know all that they expect me to know B) Since I have no way of legitimately complying I have no incentive to try to do more than send in something reasonable and hope they leave me alone C) This is all decided by a county level bureaucracy with no regard for any of the above and enforced by a group of often well-intentioned thugs who have no concern for whether or not any of what is being enforced is legitimate. Of course it is legitimate since the government said it is.

The upper right photo is a proven fake (the guy standing up was added afterwards. Also, Elie Weisel claims to be in the photo (which, too, has been proven to be a big fat lie).
Suzanna… it is just more of the same. We moved here to “retire” and stop paying the government for the privilege of working hard. They just aren’t going to be able to do without our contributions.
LOL.

Your life occasionally is going just fine. The wind at your back and things are smooth. Then, out of nowhere the ‘white’ official envelope / statement / demand letter / bill arrives in the snail mail and then the burden of proof falls onto you. For whatever the state / gov says you owe them or information to be provided. WTF ?

@admin- it would be prudent for you to investigate The Holocaust. It most certainly did not occur, as there was no systematic gassing of Jews or anyone else for that matter. Essentially, everything you have ever been told about the holocaust is a lie. For someone with your intelligence and your willingness to educate yourself, it is repulsive to reply with an ad hominem attack on somebody when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. As they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. You must be one big dumbass horse.
I’ve noticed over the years your ego has seem to grow exponentially with your writing. Take a look in the mirror and try to find the person that would actually research things before spouting off at the mouth.

Don’t get your raisins in a bunch, Silent. That’s just Admin’s way of welcoming new thinkers with great ideas. Your ideas seem fresh and exciting. The restoration of Hitler is long overdue. Historians have been slamming him for so long, I almost fell for all of that Nazi = bad bullshit.
No doubt Admin will soon see your POV and thank you profusely in the way only he can.

However, Silent Majority seems to be pretty bent out of shape and since he had one thumbs up, I just slapped a thumbs down to even things out.
I find that randomly thumbing people up or down when I’m on the computer that allows me to do so makes me feel like I’m a part of the system. Like voting. (Remember my son turned thumbing OFF for me on the other computer.)
