What about people who can't afford to buy? Their taxes subsidize those who can. Ultimately, land itself is like air and water, it is a birth-right.

- iteratethis 3y agoPeople that can't afford things tend to pay little tax, if any. They are net receivers. And how are people that bought something with their own money subsidized? Owning land is not a birth right.
- defrost 3y agoHow much land ownership is generational though? What percentage is passed on as a birth right?
- jacknews 3y agoIndeed, actually owning land rather than leasing perhaps should not be a right of private entities at all. But a place to live is obviously a requirement of existence, and therefore must be a right. As for 'own money' etc, it isn't god-given out of thin air, but results from our current system of organizing work and distributing rewards. Some would say that system is unfair, even rigged.
