   The United States is a Communist regime and you can't *own* property under   
   Communism, since the primary objective of Communism is the Elimination of   
   Private Property, which is why you're *forced* to pay Feudal Serfdom Rent as   
   Tribute to the Reds, which they euphemistically call 'property taxes', over   
   and over and over, endlessly...prima  facie evidence that you do not *own*   
   'your' property, merely possess it by living there.   
      
   If you look into it, that isn't that uncommon.  You can find many of   
   the people involved in start up companies pull out before things hit it   
   big.  You can also find many early investors who did the opposite and   
   when the company sank, lost everything.

   As in Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose ;)

   That sounds interesting!

   They wouldn't have to go that far, merely have a taste of what   
   underprivileged is like.

   But *they*, being mere creatures, are unable to watch billions, so they have   
   machines do it, and since machines are unable to impart to them what they   
   see, for the very same reason - creature limitations, they're unable to   
   watch anything more than only tiny bits and pieces of those billions.

   I'd have no reason to believe that they couldn't, or don't. But, there's   
   simply too much data for mere creatures to go through.

   With the current Overpopulation at 7.7 Billion, even when eliminating 90%,   
   that would still leave 770 Million persons to spy on - talk about a   
   monumental task ;)   
   Of course the numbers will be somewhat smaller since not everyone accesses   
   the internet, but still an Enormous number.

   Just stay under the radar, as opposed to those Fools who actually post to   
   the world, the best time rob their houses and what's available to steal ;)
