State Farm Personal Property Inventory Form: Fill & Download for Free

In some forms, notably real estate, it is already taxed. In most cases, the property tax applies to residential, farm, commercial, and industrial property.In some states, (e.g. WA and NE) there is also a personal property tax falling on automobiles based on their Blue Book value.There are also some inventory taxes and a few other variants.The difficulty with wealth taxes lies in the stock nature of wealth. Determining the value for purposes of taxation is problematic and subject to serious contention, in some cases (e.g. CA Prop 13).

To some extend the murders committed by the followers of the Davidian Cult, and the earlier child molesting, are signs of pre-existing issues of insanity among cult members. And indeed, going in and finding the bodies of children and women, clustered near an exit, seconds from life and freedom, executed by bullets to the back of their heads did cause mental issues for the agents trying to rescue them.So you have two issues. The Davidian were insane by and large before the siege. The siege was just proof of this. As a member of the DOJ I wish that David Koresh had not been such an evil son-of-a-bitch and that his followers had not done what they did, but I cannot fix that. There will always be evil men in the service of the devil who will prey on the confused and weak to fill their own desire for power. The problem was - Koresh should have been dealt with earlier.Search WarrantUnited States District Court Western District of TexasSEARCH WARRANT W93-15MIn the Matter of the Search of residence of Vernon Wayne Howell, and others, Rt . 7, Box 471-B, AKA: Mount Carmel Center, McLennan County, TX, its appurtenances, vehicles, underground structures located on entire premises of the 77 acre compound.

For a brief period at the beginning of the war , so-called slave property (escaped slaves that reached the Federal lines) were returned to the masters. This policy was quickly eliminated by declaring the escaped slaves “contraband” that could be seized by Federal forces. Prior to the War, the owners of the slaves would have been legally entitled to request their return (as property) and likely would have done so under the federal 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. But the Confederate states had declared that they no longer were part of the United States. General Benjamin Butler, who was educated as an attorney, took the position that, if the South considered itself a foreign power then he was under no obligation to return any "contraband of war." Because the practice effectively recognized the seceded states as foreign entities, President Abraham Lincoln disapproved of it. The US Congress thereafter resolved the dilemma by passing the Confiscation Act of 1861, which declared that any property used by the Confederate military, including slaves, could be confiscated by Union forces. The next Spring, the Act Prohibiting the Return of Slaves (1862) forbade returning slaves to Confederate masters or the military.The escaped slaves were used as laborers to support Union efforts and the government soon began to pay them wages ( males $8 a month and females $4, plus rations). The former slaves set up camps near Union forces, and the Army helped support and educate both adults and children among the refugees.On collateral issues concerning “property” outside the immediate end of open hostility on the battlefield, Lincoln showed a substantial generosity, assuring Southerners that executive policy would be lenient and remarking that he was open to consideration of compensation ($) to slaveowners for emancipating their bondsmen. This was how Britain had ended slavery.Lincoln had first thought that the freed slaves would be resettled somewhere outside America (Africa, the Southwest, or the Caribbean), or that the government would fund the former slaves until they developed their own economy. However, not many northerners were in favor of this proposal and eventually, these alternatives never materialized. Most northerners were prejudiced against blacks even if they were against slavery.The largely mistaken expectation of "40 acres" for all former slaves came from the explicit terms of General William T. Sherman's Field Orders, which instructed officers to settle black refugees on “400,000 total acres divided into 40-acre plots,” and from General Oliver O. Howard’s Circular 13 issued from the Freedmen's Bureau to inventory the confiscated lands of Confederates available for redistribution. A radical abolitionist, Howard had overestimated his authority under the Bureau to require “every male of that class of persons” (freedmen) be assigned “not more than forty acres of such lands.” Garrison Frazier, the 67-year-old black, former slave and pastor, had consulted with the refugees. He told Sherman: "The way we can best take care of ourselves is to have land, and turn it and till it by our own labor." These hopes were soon downplayed. The Bureau had Congressional authority only to provide for refugees in the form of a lease with a yearly rent at 6% of the land's value on no more than forty acres for three years, after which they would have had to purchase it at full value, if they had the money. Certainly, farm revenue would have been inadequate for a family to raise the price of the land. But farming has other benefits besides finances, including an independent source of fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat.Ultimately the administration of President Andrew Johnson required the Bureau to re-allocate most of the land to its former owners. Pretty much all of the white plantation owners that had not lost their land during the war or had it confiscated from them during reconstruction, continued to work and own their plantations. In most cases, their former slaves were now their employees or their sharecroppers.Most free blacks acquired land through private transactions or by later taking advantage of the Southern Homestead Act of 1866. Prior to this act, blacks and whites alike were having trouble buying land. Freedmen were not generally eligible for homesteading, because they were not citizens before 1868. Sharecropping and tenant farming had become ways of life. This act attempted to solve this by selling land at low prices so that poor white southerners could buy it. Many people, however, could not participate because the low prices for land were still too high."Forty acres" was a slogan often used by agrarian and social reformers, which represented a wide variety of different arrangements for expanding postwar land ownership and farming among the lower classes; yet overly enthusiastic reformers may have added a “mule” simply as an obvious necessity for achieving prosperity through agriculture.Within six weeks of his second inauguration, Lincoln would be dead, killed by a Southern assassin’s bullet. With him would die any hope of the just and unprejudiced period of national reconstruction that he envisioned.
