Are you trying to argue that no one really owns their homes? Well, yes in a way the excessive taxation is part of the Marxist redistribution of wealth.
Or perhaps you meant the mortgage? Are you referring to predatory lending? Thanks Clinton and Carter for making that a possibility.

Next, the govt taxes the oil industry and that tax gets passed on to the customer of course. The more the govt taxes the oil companies, the more you pay at the pump.

You can be thrown off your property for non payment of taxes and yes, I am saying that no one really owns property. Your papers are more than likely part of a bundle traded on the world market. Who actually has the original paperwork? OccupywallStreet is asking these questions.
BTW...who were the original land owners, and who actually gave them the deeds? Where did they get the rights to that land in the first place? Private property is like religion...someone had to make it all up at one point, then it just becomes a matter of buying into that persons opinion forever after.
I would go as far as to argue that most government law, policy and history is designed to validate, through tedious slight of hand, bugus claims to property and resources. Does it strike anyone as odd that almost all claims to land are "God Given" at their genesis?edit on 3-10-2011 by PapaKrok because: (no reason given)

Although anarchists share a rejection of the state, they differ about economic arrangements and possible rules that would prevail in a stateless society, ranging from no ownership, to complete common ownership, to supporters of private property and capitalist free market competition. For example, some forms of anarchism, such as that of anarcho-collectivism, anarcho-communism or anarcho-syndicalism not only seek rejection of the state, but also other systems which they perceive as authoritarian, which include capitalism, capitalist markets, and title-based property ownership.

The OccupyWallStreet is becoming a movement to reclaim public spaces for public use. It is looking toward using public space to create a future society based on collective, direct, democratic participation without a centralized ruling body.
