The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.

Property O My Property
property o my property
i use to be a man fine and witty
no cares in the world full of terimity
untill the heavens fell off my dad was murdered
and i was stranded with his property
property o my property
three flats into one, office, home and land what fun
rentals 6% home appreciation by 10%
money in black some in white
o my friends try and understand my plight
property o my property
some say it's worth 50 crs some say it's less
i use to be a free bird before
god knows how i landed up in this mess
brokers, dalla's, buyers and sellers
i have two houses still i am a lonely dweller
property o my property
what the hell to do with you
buy or sell take or give
now my life is not a life but a hell in which i live
property my property
o my dad's property
property o property o my dad's property
my well wishers say i cannot be trusted
to handle all this and i sure will be busted
so my friends you see my situation is dire
it's time like this that i feel i am walking on fire
property o property my dad's property

We're taking on Social Security as a property rights issue. We figure that every single American has an absolute property right interest in the fruits of his or her own labor. What I work for should be my property.

In the event of fire in any of the public buildings troops would be of vast service in the protection of public property, and should insurrection break out the protection of life and property would be more safe guarded by our company of regulars, than by the whole City.

People recognize intellectual property the same way they recognize real estate. People understand what property is. But it's a new kind of property, and so the understanding uses new control surfaces. It uses a new way of defining the property.

Property
I'll be your fantasy, but I won't be your property
Love you eternally, but I'll never be your property
Love from me's not guaranteed
Just because you think I'm property
I can love you totally and still not be your property
Every girl and boy wants to grow up to be loved someday
And you can't wait to give your heart away
But it's like worship in their eyes walking down the aisle
When you slip on that ring, they start to treat you like a thing, yeah
I call it slavery when you call someone your property
Don't waste your vanity, I will never be your property
Something wonderful happens when people fall in love
Your happiness is all they're thinking of
But it's like "anything you say" 'til the wedding day
When they get it in ink, they start to tell you what to think, yeah
Darkest day in history when someone invented property
Cause of our misery is the constant lust for property
Since god began it, we've been dividing up the planet
When you see something you want it
You've got to put your name tag on it
And we go on carving, meanwhile half the world is starving
It's a crime .. hands off what is mine!
Take all you can 'til you slam on the parking brake
And you need space to make your own mistakes
But it's like "I won't hold you back" 'til the bags are packed
Then they're struttin' about like they own you inside out
I call it slavery (you can't make me a slave),
when you call someone your property
Don't waste your vanity (don't be so vain),
I will never be your property
Darkest day in history (why did you have to do a thing like that)
when someone invented property
Cause of our misery (misery, misery)
is the constant lust for property

The dichotomy between personal liberties and property rights is a false one. Property does not have rights. People have rights.

It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a Free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it.

Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth, upon which the race depends for food, clothing and shelter, should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites.

My wife is my property.
This is my property. I don’t use it.
I am no longer interested in it.
Yet it is under my care from trespass.
My wife is my property that I guard.

The Major Cause Of Poverty In Nigeria
The major causes of poverty
nd income inequality in
Nigeria's economy is the love
for property which make men
to be very stingy and greedy.
In furtherance to this, since God has provided for those
that is over their needs, it is
expected that such surplus
should be redistributed. But
our dominat class in Nigeria
will began to perpectuate their dominant over us and as well
as to protect their lovely
property and illegal acquired
wealth, while the less
previllege class will submit
themselve to their stream of dominance like the grain of
gold in the sand of a river nd
not thinking of how to revolt
against the action, in relation
to this, poverty has removed
the teeth of a lion and leave him unteeth. All we need is
revolution.

In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.

Lobbying For Change
I had to come to their defense.
Since it was claimed,
They were on private property.
Panhandling.
And upsetting residents.
I quickly demanded to see the manager.
And announced...
The people were 'lobbying for change'
Something we all are seeking.
Especially during these times,
Of severe need.
'Hopefully, that can be agreed? '
Unless adverse publicity is sought?
And 'that' somehow was discouraged!
Since property taxes were overdue.
And that fact was a known issue.
That could undo.
If harrassments continued...
To be pursued!
~What is this?
Some sleaze of a 'blackmail'? ~
'Now...
You're trying to make this personal!
As if I am without an identity or intergrity,
That does not possess a wholesomeness...
Up and above such lowlife remarks!
Well...
How much is it worth to you? '
~How much is 'what' worth to me? ~
'My talents? '
