From Wikipedia:
Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general.
I have said for some time that I think the government will start taking back land as they think they can get away with it. This looks like one way to start…
Nudge, nudge… This is per year…
Soaring Leases Force Families from Forest Cabins
September, 2009
The Olympian, September 9, 2009 – Tucked in on the shores of Lake Wenatchee is a row of rustic cabins that were built long before this spectucular mountain lake became a recreation gold coast. The cabins are privately owned but are on land leased from the U.S. Forest Service. The agency recently sent notice that a long-delayed increase in annual lease fees is due, spiking fees up more than 1,000 percent, from $1,400 to more than $17,000.
Those bills have made the Lake Wenatchee cabins central to questions about the future of the Forest Service’s 94 year old policy of enticing middle-class families to the woods by offering cut-rate deals on land for cabins. With fees steeply up nationwide, to as high as $76,000 a year, cabin owners wonder how many of the 14,500 cabins across the United States will still be occupied in a few years.

For some reason, I couldn’t get to the full story. What you don’t see here is that if the families cannot pay, they are forced by law to bulldoze those cabins. Guess who this benefits in addition to the federal government? Many of these cabins are next to very wealthy land owners… It’s also an EPA move…

I find this of interest because it looks like a government land grab – simply raise fees and taxes so much that people have to abandon their property. Nudge people right off their land and it goes back to the government… Nudge, nudge…
