#1 This was a government deciding that, due to $236 of unpaid taxes, it had the right to confiscate a ~$30K home owned outright by an individual, then selling it to the highest bidder and pocketing the proceeds (which were roughly 15% of the initial purchase price).

You can't pay the ~~taxes~~ gov't rent, someone else will. Private property ownership is an illusion.

#3 1. Start a Go-Fund me site for Jim
2. Take the first $5K and have the neighbors "encourage" the new owner to sell it back. "We don't think you'll be happy here". Yes I'll award a profit for his trouble.
3. Set up an account to forward pay his taxes for the next 10 years.
4. Make sure this travesty is publicized appropriately in the local media and by Veteran's groups. Tag line - "The Gov't is turning veterans into the homeless"
