Property taxes are illegal!

There is a law in our Constitution about double taxation, I am sure all are aware of this fact. I know that when I purchased my home in April of last year, I was taxed by the state and county. Every year after that, I must pay a tax for fear of losing my home! Why is this? I first paid the seller his due, then I paid the taxes for purchase of that home. Why then, do I have to pay on something I have already paid for?

Double tax is not even the word for it! Does the word legal theft have a ring to it? Ask my grandfather, who was completely ripped off by this tax of all his earthly possessions, (antiques, vehicles, home, threecar garage, travel trailer, etc., not including his bricklayers pension and Social Security that was to pay for his last days stay on this earth. What did the family get? A great big zero!

I went to pay for my taxes recently, and asked the lady who works there if there was any way I can pay ahead on my taxes, say like, ten years at a time?" The answer I got was NO. Why do you think that is? Well, maybe then, if you could afford to, you might be able to actually keep your home for your family's inheritance!

I thought when I went to Vietnam it was to protect our rights! I was terribly fooled!
