Question for those who have more experience contemplating SHTF scenarios;
The biggest threat to our security right now is, without a doubt, the future stability of the dollar. Without getting too partisan, this administration has ramped up the inflationary fiscal policy that was already leading the dollar to disaster. So...,
Many of us have made big changes in our lifestyles, some of us have purchased homesteads with the hope of having a 'leg up'. We've learned to grow food (more or less), learned to hunt, we season our firewood, keep chickens and etc. But what happens when our property taxes go from 3000 to 30,000 because the dollar isn't worth squat and your town/county/state must pay police and etc enough to keep them on the job?
Police are paid through property tax, as are schools, road crews and etc.. So my question is, do you think the local government would raise taxes to such an extent as to force people off their properties? What good is all this prep that I am doing if the government will confiscate my land when the going gets tough??
On the one hand, if they force me off they get NOTHING unless they can find someone willing to pay the hyperinflated rate, and if the dollar crashes there won't be too many of those guys to go around. On the other hand, the government always throws the burden back on the little guy, in the end we always take the hit. What say you?
