value doesn't mean anything in this case. what matters is that someone can take away your property if you don't do what they say. That's not ownership.

- medvezhenok 4y agoSame thing happens in a paid off house if you don't pay your property tax.
- nerdchum 4y agoExactly. You're a SERF to the government forever! People lose their house often to runaway property taxes. This should anger people more.
- verall 4y agoThis is unhinged. If purchasing a piece of land means that it stays within your family forever with no additional payments or taxes, that's feudalism.
- nerdchum 4y agoI don't think you understand. feudalism. you should google it. feudalism is NOT owning your land because the government owns it and you pay them for the use of the land which is exactly what we have now.
- verall 4y agoIf the government exists to protect property rights through use of force, and property owners have access to that system without paying taxes, what do you call the rest of us, who have to pay rents to those property owners and taxes for the government? Not serfs? Even feudal lords had to protect their own land and were also expected to protect their serfs, lest their serfs' foods be given to raiders rather than their lord.
