And OP my home is my own i have the deeds. Are you telling me they don't hold up?
Everything in it is bought and fully paid up. My car too is bought and paid up. Although
i have beliefs i do not attend or support any church.
]You do not "own" your land. Think you do? Refuse to pay rent to Uncle Sam for a couple years. See how long they allow you to retain "ownership", actually a permit to occupy THEIR land.

It is all about stealing parts of your life.
I stand corrected then. In the US we do not OWN our land. Just as the serfs of old, we lease it from those above us, in this case the government.

Sorry but i do own the land my home is on. In this country (the UK) we have freehold
or leasehold housing if it is freehold (which mine is) you own the land if it is leasehold
some one else owns that land and your house is only there for a lease period
