Permits. Permits for everything.
WTF do I need to ask "mother may I" and be extorted by the government to scratch my ass in my own home.
Garage door opener $35, each individual electrical socket $15, ceiling fan $25, bath tub $145, etc.etc.etc.
Do people that run for office get elected and lose their @$!#ing minds?!
Speaking of being extorted, you can own your home free and clear, but if you're not paying your property taxes, the government will come take your home. Just ask that lady from PA that lost her home over a failure to pay $6.30 in interest from a late tax payment.
...so you NEVER really own your home.
With everyday that goes by, this country seems less and less free.
