Oh no, I lost properties at tax sale.  I didn't know about defense strategies.  I talked to the lawyers that sold off my properties and got most of my money back... It's not good enough, but it's a start.  I'm always looking for new things to learn.  Losing is part of the learning process.  One thing that Steve talks about is just reading the laws that control your state. Learn where those laws came from and how they got enacted.  He says most of this is just ignorance (80% my guess) instead of corruption (20% my guess).  Steve claims this strong rights language is in every state constitution, we just have to read.  He displays irritation probably because it is right there smacking us in the face with the obviousness of the issue.  

Believe me, it's not easy, but it is simple.  I listened to his 3 or 4 interviews for months on repeat while riding in my truck before the scales fell off my mind.  I consider myself to be intelligent, but there are so many types of intelligence.  It was hard for me to admit that I have been acculturated my entire life into believing certain forms of doublespeak and that while there seems to be a certain aspect of malevolence to the legalese doublespeak, it's really just my ignorance and unwillingness to comprehend how the others think.  Once this admission is made, the blinders of rage come off, and you can see how they are misusing definitions by hook or crook...

I don't think it takes any special branch of law (equity or otherwise) to understand the plain law as it is written.  Brandon Sibley will take the paragraphs that Steve references in his interviews and just read verbatim what the law says about taxing the place you live.  They aren't allowed to do it unless we let them and that's where they are twisting the word "voluntary". Steve has some special thoughts on this.  

No, I have not had a sit down convo with anyone. I've only made a phone call and got checks in the mail from the properties I lost.  Currency is NO substitute for a place to live.  I'm still learning.  I'll be back! 😁
