In 2016, the World Economic Forum saw fit to release a video promoting their Great Reset. They gave a wonderful picture of how marvelously they were going to remake our world while trashing Western values. But one of the things that took people back was their statement, "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy."
The framers of the Constitution placed a high value on the right to own and control their property. The underpinnings of such thought were forged during the colonial period, when the acquisition and ownership of large tracts of land made colonists of every financial position acutely sensitive to interference with their property. After 1763, England's failure to respect these rights made colonials think their 'marriage' to England was headed for divorce.
Property rights are part of the very essence of life. Even animals know to control their turf. Unknown to most Americans today, property rights were one of the leading causes of the American Revolution.

Inns, alehouses, and livery stables were to be used if the local barracks were insufficient. Additionally, the Second Quartering Act was passed in 1774. These so-called 'Intolerable Acts' permitted soldiers to reside in private residences. The Declaration of Independence included citations to the atrocities because they were so heinous.

One of their considerable goals is to destroy the middle class and confiscate their property. At first glance, you would think that was impossible, but they have a plan they have been working on for decades. And it is legal—for now.
