That's a poor description of what is going on here. I suppose you'd argue that having to pay a property tax is the same as paying the government rent, and so that means one doesn't "own" his home at all as long as it's taxed?
Where does that argument end? At what point can we just call it what it is: advocacy for disbanding government entirely?
- jjordan 10y agoGreat point; property taxes are remarkably similar to rent, are they not? Pay your annual dues or you're out on your ass, so to speak. Consumption taxes are a much fairer way of funding the government, IMO. Rich people consume more and pay more in taxes. Those with less consume less and pay less.
- devdas 10y agoWealth taxes would be even fairer.
