Tax Guru-Ker$tetter Letter

Saturday, May 24, 2003

Man could face three years in jail for bulldozing 300 oak trees on his own property - This kind of thing is a perfect example of why we left the PRC ten years ago. Control over your own property isn't allowed by the Left Coast rulers. When we came here to the Ozarks and learned that property owners are allowed to do whatever they want with their property, the decision was easy. For example, we have about 150 acres of forest (oaks and other kinds) on our property here. We could cut, burn or bulldoze them all if we want to. Of course, we wouldn't do that; but it's a good feeling knowing that we won't be tossed into prison if we change our minds. A foundation of capitalism and freedom is private ownership and control over property. That's not the case in the PRC.
