So what is really going on?
Private property is both the cornerstone and the holy grail of common law. No private property is where trusts excel. Practically everything is done with trusts these days. What you think of as public law is nothing more than private trust law. Uses and usufructs. Private property is not stolen or taken from you by public officials. Private property is seized because your use is no longer useful for your survival. Private property is seized because you fail to return payment to the trust when your usufruct produces an income.

Uses are for your survival only. Usufruct is for your use and enjoyment. Remember that part about 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'? That 'pursuit of happiness' is the usufruct. The enjoyment is where taxes come from. Everyone in the trust wants to be happy with you (aka 'share the wealth').

I don't know why you aren't happy about this state of affairs unless perhaps you still believe in private property rather than everyone sharing everything in common.
