As a fellow veteran, I understand where you are coming from. As I have gotten older, I have realized that we in fact do not own our land, we only rent it from the local government. When someone can take something from us because we cannot pay what they tell us to, we do not own that thing. Our Founding Fathers understood that property was a way to create wealth and liberty. We as a society have strayed far from what we are supposed to be. We are now working nearly 6 months or more per year just to pay some form of taxes. We are not free, we have the illusion of freedom.

My parents had put up a shed on their property, it was under the size required for a permit and followed set backs. A neighbor across the street complained that it "blocked their view of the lake" and my parents were forced to take the shed down. The people could have bought on the lake, but chose not to. They still had a view of the lake, it just wasn't as much as without the shed.

So, my dad took his old trailer, put sides and a roof on it and parked it where the shed was. It is the same size as the shed but is on wheels. The county can't do anything about it.

All property tax, every imminent domain law, every building fee, is unconstitutional, period

I'm in PA. Lackawanna county. I tried to build an 8'X10' greenhouse with a wooden frame and plastic. The code officer wanted to charge me 92.00 for a permit. I told him that I'd take a chainsaw to it before I'd pay him a penny. I put deer fencing on it and a planter on both sides and planted morning glory's and told him that now it's a trellis and a permit isn't required for a trellis. He said that he had to check into that. Three years later he was still checking. I wonder if my statement about where the money goes and maybe the state should do an audit made him think twice?

I’m in Washington Co. Utah. My father won a bid to cut logs from/on Cedar Mountain (Iron Co. Utah)
He cut the logs, then bought a mobile saw mill. This was in 1984. He built his house. He was newly retired at that time. In 1996 the house caught on fire up stares. Grandchildren with matches. The roof was severely damaged, the water from the firefighting severely damaged the floor up stairs/ ceiling for downstairs. The city inspector came over and told him he couldn’t repair the roof and ceiling/floor because the two by fours hadn’t been inspected. My dad knew an inspector and talked to him about it. The inspector said he could only inspect wood that came through the plant. The mayor told the inspector the roof could be replaced.
When we did the log cutting, building your own home was legal. The laws changed by the time of the fire.
We decided a lot of laws are for control, and for job security for specialization.
When passing laws, it would be awesome for 5 laws to be taken off the books. More laws, less freedom.

TG, there are men like you willing and able to fight this corrupt system. Thank you on behalf of all of us

The world is going to be a much better place when we all learn to mind our own business. Thank you for your service.

A beuracratic city officer kept calling us that our yard was called in (anonymously) by a neighbor as having 'clutter' and threatened us with misdemeanor criminal charges if not cleaned up. I thought it was a mistake as our yard was pretty well cared for but my wife (pregnant at that time) is terrified of authority and immediately went out to make sure it was pristine (in late pregnancy). Fast forward a few weeks and we get another notice that we were about to be cited for failure to comply. This was ridiculous and we called to say they had the wrong property. They were pretty condescending and said they definitely had the right property. We had to make a few more phone calls and invited authorities each time to come out and inspect the property themselves (seemed an appropriate ask when being threatened with criminal charges site unseen but there was incredible resistance and condescension from city authorities). When they FINALLY came out to inspect the property they immediately found it was the wrong address and gave a weak apology (and also found no 'clutter'). Government beuracrats can be very lazy and power drunk. Don't get railroaded as many of them don't care.

My professional licensing board in my state tried to strip me of my professional license over a mistake they made. (They put the wrong due date for a form on what they mailed to me) I would have lost my business, my home, and probably my family. It was retaliatory in nature and I almost took my life because of it when things looked the darkest. I finally got it in circuit court before a judge and he basically laughed them out of the courtroom and ruled in my favor. Was this the end of it? Of course not. They couldn't be embarrassed like that and they thought I would be running out of money to fight it so it went on appeal to the state Supreme Court....where I also won. All in all it cost the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars, it cost me $100, 000+ and I almost ended it all because they were essentially ending my life as I knew it.

The government is horrible at every level.

Im in Oregon, my place burned down in the Holiday Farm wildfire. I had about 6500 square feet in buildings, lodge and six cabins. One cabin survived, although damaged, I rebuilt the lodge at 4000 square feet feet. I used to pay 3950 property tax and have to pay now 7200 bucks. No senator or other stakeholder responded . So much for our county to yelp you recover from a huge loss.

I'm a navy veteran and I have seen this country going down hill more in the last few years than any other time in my life time

[gloriab.]

Former USAF veteran here too. We are being over regulated in a society that now has a two tiered justice system. Keep on fighting the good fight. 🇺🇸

[icehog]

I think you nailed it when you said we're a society of cheaters and liars. It doesn't matter where you look, our society is filled with them starting at the highest levels of government and continues right down the line. Unfortunately, people like you and I that always try and do the right thing isn't the general sentiment these days.

[maryfontaine]

I agree with you absolutely. America seems more and more like Russia. I fear what lies ahead. Best wishes to you and your family, friends, neighbors as well as all Americans. Thank you for your show and ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR SERVICE 🇺🇸🦅❤️🙏🏼✝️

I am in NC and have been a police officer for 29 years. I have a small cow farm in 2 counties. What I have learned over the years is that building codes are different from county to county and you really don't have the freedom to do what you want to do on your own land. The county owns your land and they decided what you can do. Taxes is like paying rent. If you don't pay your taxes they will take it. That being said, I have tried to do a few things and some counties tell me that it's not zoned for that. You have to get a permit for everything now. We, the people, are over taxed and over regulated. There are to many laws on the books and most laws are written by the insurance companies. Our freedoms are slipping away.

[mdpatton]

We as individuals are completely over regulated. I live in rural Texas and we have no permitting for anything built outside of the city limits. Recently the commissioners voted in a permitting process to build anything, even a fence. The outrage that came out of the people from the county was so overwhelming that at the very next commissioners court meeting they overturned the rule and one of the commissioners resigned. The point of this is to say that local elections matter so get out there and speak. Thank you for the video.

You are very kind with your words, and thank you for your service. I too am a USAF Veteran (as is my wife.) We built our 'forever home' in Pennsylvania in 2021/2022. The governements (local, state and federal) have all become WAYYYY too involved in everyone's business, in my opinion. I really didn't want, nor did I need, to pay for all the various departments to sign off on every little thing involved in a home build on 9 acres of land. Overkill is an understatement. All the requirements that cost me $10k every time I turned around, and needed a signature from the next guy, who then required a new thing that cost me $10k... It was really ridiculous. Great video, thanks for shedding light on this problem!
