@joshsigurdson - It seems to me, that the ability to grow food on land that you own, lease or rent should be a fundamental human right and freedom. After air and water, food is the thing we need to most to sustain us. Really, this is a fundamental question of individual sovereignthy vs, state power. And it seems in many cases we no longer have true rights over our property or freedom to feed ourselves in the way we choose. I wonder what the nation's founders would think about all this. Land of the free? Not so sure.

It seems to me that as long as you are forced to pay taxes on your land and are in danger of losing your land if you fail/refuse to you don't really own the land. You are still paying the government to be able to use your own land.
Yes, in reality the government allows you to use the land, conditional on you paying your taxes. No taxes paid, goodbye land. More like renting the land, and the taxes you pay are the rent.
