Big Brother is Watching.

Help Support CattleToday:

Last year I spent an hour on the phone with the county tax collectors office and they had my properties on google earth and were asking me detailed information like what that red thing next to my chute was and is that gravel that you added to the road? :mad: We have to pay supplemental taxes on improvements and business equipment here. I'm fairly honest with them as I've heard a few horror stories but I did learn my lesson and now everything gets barn stored... It keeps the thieves at bay.

Most of those satellite shots are outdated. That "red thing" was probably gone by the time you talked to them.

Still invasive as HE!! ! That red thing was my generator and it was already on my tax bill. WE THE PEOPLE paid some idiot to sit there and grill me for an hour and we the people didn't get anything but a bill for his time and one of the people feels like he's got a peeping tom in the neighborhood.

Invasive? You mean like having your right to privacy taken away? Ironic.
How old are you? Pull over there!

Nope, two very different things in my mind. Cops are hired to catch criminals and they walk a fine line in between putting undue pressure on undeserving people and putting enough pressure on criminals to catch them.
When tax collectors start digging into personal property WITHOUT REASONABLE SUSPICION that I've misled them or even any provocation at all, then government has overstepped it's bounds.

CB if you would take the time to actually read what some of us say instead of going off on some tangent all the time you might become a bit more enlightened as well. I made one short comment" Most of those satellite shots are outdated". Now prove my a%% wrong on that statement. Some are more current but I assure you the one of my place is 4 years old. Now what the he77 does that have to do with coolaid or tea?? You know you can be an obnoxious old SOB sometimes. Why not lighten up and give the rest of us non experts a friggin chance. Now where is my tin foil hat.

You're safe in Texas wearing it. Well maybe not totally safe next week. There's a 20% chance of rain a day or two.

Yesterday you were telling me I hadn't read the flag ban thread. I had. The conversation in the thread had progressed and I was responding to a post. I had read every word there.

What's up? What's got your goat with some of us? Can I buy you a shot?
