I am fairly sure the Magna Charter which is part of UK common law which US law descends from explicitly has "the right of all free citizens to own and inherit property"
The UNHCR also has Article 17(2) (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property
- lkrubner 9y agoI don't know if you are joking, but the Magna Charter was a deal worked out between a bunch of feudal lords and their king. It represents everything that we are trying to get away from in the modern era. As to UNHCR, obviously none of us would ever suggest taking someone's property arbitrarily. What I am suggesting is a tax, which would work just like any other tax, and would be just as lawful as every other tax that you pay.
