I have a question or two pursuent to the estate tax

Post #77,080 by boxley 1/26/03 4:04:12 PM Reply	I have a question or two pursuent to the estate tax How many landed gentry in England's decendants still own the manors their folks established and built several generations ago? How many estates were broken up and sold to raise the estate tax? Can a human being ever own property or just rent it from the government for a period of years? thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "The Mafia was preferable to the state, because it survived by providing services people actually wanted" Murray Rothbard

As for owning anything, again, it's back to definitions. In the US, you "own" things only as far as the state allows you to. If there was no state, you would "own" things only as far as you were able to keep others from taking them. The state charges you to provide this "protection". If you fail to pay the protection money (taxes), the property will revert to the state to be disposed of as the state deems fit. Is this enlightening you any?
