1. Bag lady ownership society
I own my shopping cart, free and clear. I have 85 cents worth of aluminum cans in there, and nobody's going to to tax them. God bless America, the Land of Opportunity™.

Let FREEDOM ring in your ears until you get tinnitus.

3. Better watch out before the property tax people come after you.
Remember cash from those cans is income and taxable unless you earn a few million a year.

2. I think we need a semantic shift to "Own Your Shit" Society
because that's all you'll own in Bush's America: your shit.
