Yesterday, there was a knock at the door – so I went to see who was there. I knew it wasn’t any of my local friends as they all know it’s ok to open the side door and holler to see whether anyone’s home.
It’s a country thing.
Well, it wasn’t a friend at the door. It was a parasite. A two-legged leech hired by the county to “assess” the value of other people’s property, so that the higher-up leeches can decide how much money property owners (sic) “owe” the county – for “services” they didn’t ask for, don’t use and object to being made to pay for.
Such as the “services” of this parasite who appeared at my door to “assess” my property.
Attention Property Owners reads the little notice the son-of-a-bitch left on my door.
“In accordance with state law, a reassessment program is under way for the purpose of equalizing real estate assessments. A research assistant or appraiser from the Reassessment Office visited your property in connection with this program.”
Italics added.
The casual effrontery of it is truly astounding. Shake your head as a dog does when he’s wet and try to get it straight. Some geek shows up to decide how much what you thought was yours is worth so that the worthless leeches who sent him can “assess” how much you will pay them in order to be permitted to retain what amounts to conditional possession of what isn’t your home.
It is their home.
If that were not so, they could not tell you what you “owe” them. Only landlords can do that. More finely, you could kick the parasite off your land, if it truly were your land. Instead, it is necessary to be civil to this son-of-a-bitch and pretend he’s just a guy doing his job. Naturally, that is probably just what he thinks, too. Probably, he does not think of himself as a son-of-a-bitch and probably isn’t, in the superficial sense that defines civility in a socialist society. The putative next vice president laid out the mentality exactly, equating socialism with “neighborliness.” By which is meant the socialist is nice so long as you obey.
And pay.
It is the “neighborliness” of totalitarianism – where everyone’s a comrade – but friends are few. A friend asks to borrow a tool that you are free to not lend him. You lend it to him because he is a friend and because you know he’ll bring it back – or replace it, if he breaks it. A comrade says what’s yours belong to him – and he’ll help himself to it.
America is full of such people now and most Americans don’t even realize that’s who they are now. Like this guy who showed up to “assess” the value of my home, that I paid for with my money. That I have worked to keep up – also with my money (and my sweat). Yet this guy feels no compunction walking around my place with his clipboard, taking inventory of my place. An inventory he knows will be used to increase the “assessment” and thus, the amount of money I will be told I “owe” for God-knows-what as I haven’t to my knowledge incurred a legitimate debt to anyone.
But, the schools!
Yes, indeed – the schools. Another plank of that vicious son-of-a-bitch (and parasite, too) Karl Marx’s Manifesto. Government schools. To inculcate in kids the glib and casual civility of socialist “neighborliness.” And also to provide the pretext for that other plank of the son-of-a-bitch’s Manifesto: Elimination of property ownership.
Bingo. Check. Because that’s what you’re forced to write out once or twice a year in order to be allowed to continue to retain conditional possession of that which is self-evidently no longer your property. If that were not so, you would not be obliged to write that check once or twice a year, courtesy of Americans like the son-of-a-bitch who showed up at my door the other day and all the others like him who think it’s right to “assess” other people’s property (sic) and that they are just doing their job.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

gREAT ARTICLE, IN MY OPINION ERIC YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE NAME OF THE SON OF A BITCH, TAKEN PICTURES OF HIM AND UPLOAD IT TO THE WEB SO HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS AND DOES, AND MAYBE CHANGE AND GET A REAL JOB.
