Very hard to hide acres of Earth.
- wakawaka28 3y agoVery hard to determine a fair value for those acres too. Everything outside of actual land purchase prices is hypothetical, and not every worthwhile purpose for land produces the same income. We already have high property taxes in some places anyway. Of course I think some kind of tax is necessary but the higher the tax the more this "ownership" resembles a lease.
