The government is intent on increasing taxes.

Most jobs seems to be in the government, health care, school district, etc.

HERE the government enities have closed DOWN 3 BIG courts 'for our size town',,and remaining courts are half empty.

I hate to see it divided like that but from the perspective of dismantling the Federal government I feel its badly needed.

If they do not pay they are evicted the same way any other tenant would be.But to be forced to accept government monies (strings are always attached) and tenants of the governments choosing is just not acceptable.

Our BoD recently "adjusted" our annual dues for 2009 and gave the Members 30-day notice to pay the "adjustment".Our governing documents allow our BoD to raise our annual dues a maximum of N% each year with 30-day notice to the Members.

Just because you want the land used for a park doesn't obligate the government.

On average we can save the home owner, insurance company and/or government (whoever ends up paying the tab) 65% to 70% over removal and replacement with a proven solution.

In both cases it is government hand out.

In addition, I see the economic "recovery" as a large-scale transfer of leverage from private individuals to the government and about equally unlikely to succeed in the long run.Unless you are buying properties at a significant discount to construction costs in areas that will continue to grow despite the recession, you can't be sure of the appreciation.
