Sorry bout that,
1. People who have worked hard for their property can lose it.
2. That is *Anti-American*.
3. Everyone at some point gets sick, some times a prolonged sickness, which can devastate a family financially.
4. Happens all the time, they can't earn money to pay taxes on their homestead.
5. Tax man comes a knocking, they lose everything.
6. Thats not fair!

Bwaahh, life isn't fair. What happened to personal responsibility? How could a health problem financially devastate someone who had been personally responsible and held sufficient insurance? If the notice is fairly given the owner has plenty of time to figure out what to do. They could sell the property and move into a cheaper place. They could take out a loan on the property to pay the tax. Depending on jurisdiction, they could even try negotiating with the city. Taxing authorities are generally easy to work with when you are pro-active about your situation. Its when you are stubborn that they fuck you. And finally - you can, in most jurisdictions, buy the house back from the buyer within a certain number of years, for the same price they paid for it, plus interest - so a tax sale isn't even permanent at first.
I have to say that its amusing that the right has no sympathy for people that lose everything because of a health related bankruptcy - unless it involves a tax sale of their home, then its a grave injustice!
