Welcome to Amerika, 2005. People have no rights at all. If you do not have the right to own property, you simply cannot have any other rights. Free speech? Sorry, you can be arrested for standing in the wrong place, since you cannot own land, so that right is gone. Freedom of religion? Sorry, if you are in a church the government doesn't like, they can take it from you and demolish it, because you have no right to own property. Right to bear arms? Nope. If you cannot own property, government can, quite literally, take anything away from you that you own. How about the right to be secure in your own property and 'their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures?' Nope. If you cannot own property, then this right simply does not apply. The government can just claim that your house is their house, and they can do whatever they like in their own house...
