There’s an article in the Daily Record that talks about how mobile home owners who don’t pay their taxes are having investors buy out their taxes and coming to charge them full retail to buy the house back. It sounds like they might have as little as $100-200 in the tax liens, and are then selling the mobile homes for $8000.

The conservative commentator might say, “Oh well, life’s tough. You better pay your taxes. You better obey the law, or that kind of thing will happen.”

The theonomist says the government is stealing tax money from everyone (including those who pay on time) and needs to repent. Property taxes are the most egregious, evil form of taxation that exists. I’m angry at the treasurer and assessor for stealing all this money and ripping people off. I’m also angry that the investors would behave this way.

I’ve purchased property tax liens in the past, and I’ve repented. I no longer own them, I was paid off by the owners. I will no longer participate in such a wicked system.

I used to think the most wicked people in this town might be drug dealers or pornographers. Now, I believe the most wicked people are the county clerk and recorder, who issues gay marriage licenses, the treasurer who aids in the theft of  millions of dollars in property taxes, and the mayor (who currently supports an immoral ballot measure increase sales tax). I would pursue church discipline against them, if I thought I wouldn’t be laughed out of their church because Christians don’t know the difference between right and wrong.

Those officials are nice people. I’m sure they’re nicer than me. They may even be Christians (except for the clerk and recorder; I don’t see how a Christian could issue gay marriage licenses), but pastors aren’t teaching the Bible. I don’t know of any pastors in the state of Colorado who speak on the matter of theft via taxation or might discuss the proper course of action for someone who works for the clerk and recorder and is asked to issue gay licenses or what the congregation’s response to gay marriage ought to be. As far as I know they all ignore it, and I’m sick of it.

Here’s a good example of a celebrity, conservative pastor who doesn’t know his right hand from his left hand.
