GOVERNMENT CONFISCATION OF PRIVATE LAND is getting to be a bigger and bigger concern to land owners from the tip of Point Barrow, Alaska to the Florida Keys. The federal, state, local and all types of NGOs, want to control land and "protect" it from private land owner's commerce. The unlimited source of funds to "protect" the land is from increased taxes. Private property taxes are being seized to purchase millions of acres of private land and remove it from all profitable commerce---an American travesty.
