Private property and the rights associated with the private property is extremely vital to any successful nation and economy.
In an article for Reason, John Stossel explains the “fallacy of the commons” and how it related to our very first settlers, the pilgrims.
When the settlers first arrived at Plymouth Rock, they were tasked with farming together and splitting up the harvest equally amongst the inhabitants. But it wasn’t until they decided to give a parcel of land to each individual that the community actually began to thrive.
So, as John Stossel states, “… this Thanksgiving feast, don’t forget to say “thanks, private property!”

Private property rights gives incentive to owners to provide for themselves rather than depending on someone else to provide for them.
If everyone takes care of themselves, then everyone will be taken care of.
Never was about private property.
Thanksgiving is about GOD.
Private property is fine until you don’t pay your PROPERTY TAX.
