#1 "You will own nothing and be happy."

"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" (alternatively "You'll own nothing and be happy") is a phrase from 2016 predictions for 2030 published by the World Economic Forum (WEF),[1] cited as being based on input from members of the World Economic Forum Global Futures Councils, likely in turn based on a 2016 article in which Danish Social Democrat Ida Auken outlines her vision of the future.[2] The phrase has been used by critics who accuse the WEF of desiring restrictions on ownership of private property. The phrase has also been used by critics of the subscription business model, and software as a service. Wiki

I agree... How about 1 flat tax, not the many we have now.

Remember, if it is taxed, you don't own it.
It has gotten to the point if you work and acquired anything. You are paying the Government rent, or a survival fee. (car, fuel, electricity, house, clothing, medical supplies, food, and more etc.)

But, if you don't work and have nothing taxable. Then it uses Tax collected $$$$ to give a person what they need at others expense?

#3 Remember, if it is taxed, you don't own it.

You might not want to be in an HOA either, then.

#4 /\ HOA's are a method of picking your neighbors, which isn't always a bad thing.

#10 My mom is in a HOA.
When the new neighbors (Mexicans, probably illegals) moved in across the street and started building an 8 foot chain link fence so they could start breeding pitbulls for dog fights, the HOA stepped in and mad e them tear it down.
