Property taxes are necessary, remove income taxes, the only people arguing for the former over the latter are usually on the government dole.

You understand that property tax means you never own your property, right?

The government owns your property, and you rent it from them. If you stop paying at any time, they can take it from you and put better goy slaves who will pay them on your land.

Property tax is the absolute WORST tax. It is perpetual and can be changed at any time with no regard to your income level. It is the ultimate slave tax.

This is not the first time he's refused to understand this or the importance of it. Anyone who supports property taxes should just come out in the open and advocate for a return to feudalism directly.

Ah yes, the pilgrims were feudalists, same with the founding fathers and every rational economist. You understand that even if you don’t have property taxes you never own your property and the government can kick you off it at any given moment simply because they want to? Paying taxes or not paying taxes doesn’t make the property any more or less yours. Property taxes are bar none the least invasive tax there is and the one that doesn’t damage economic growth.

You understand that without a government you don’t own your property either right?

So can literally any tax. Property taxes have the massive benefit of being a LOCAL tax, if you don’t live in a shithole your taxes don’t go up.

You are an absolute midwit. Without a government, nothing matters and it's survival of the fittest. That's a fucking non-argument.

Property tax only makes sense if you generate income from your property. Without that contingency, you are being charged for living. It is the absolute worst tax possible. Income tax only impacts you when you generate something. Property tax doesn't care if you are 100 year old granny, pay me bitch.

I hope you end up old and alone and get kicked out of your house you built for not paying government rental fees. Seems like that's the only way you will understand how fucking stupid you are.

Government isn't the reason you own things..

Seriously. Government is the reason you have to work so hard to keep the things, that they ultimately say you don't own anyway and will take either while you earn the money for them, save the money for it, or after you die as part of an estate tax.

Government isn't the giver of anything other than misery.

Income tax means the government owns your time and talent.
Sales tax means the government owns the fruit of your labor. Export tariffs are a sales tax.

Pick your poison. The only cure is to cut spending.

Apparently you don’t retard. The property tax is so American that it was the only tax the pilgrims had. It’s also the only tax that doesn’t destroy economies.

you could tax the land because you couldn't stop anyone from using it how they liked to make money for themselves.

How about we remove all taxes except sales tax.

Im only taxed when i buy something and only once. No more endless taxes or compounding taxes over and over. If i spend my money then you can get involved if i dont spend anything its mine

This is a retardedly childish statement. Sales taxes kill economic growth, if you don’t believe me look at every major city with higher sales tax rates versus lower.

Also if you don’t spend your money inflation will just eat it anyways, not sure what your great logic here is other than your fee fees getting hurt.

Sales tax is only a problem because of other taxes. You blame the one thing that is actually under YOUR control. What you buy and how much.

Proves your a fucking retard to attack this.

And nice defense fucking queer, ooh inflation buzzword. No shit it exists, but inflation barely effects anything as prices have risen faster than inflation meaning its a non issue

Income taxes are necessary. But property taxes are inherently a bad thing because it means you never truly own your property. And aren't necessary if there is income tax. Why should there be property taxes if there is already income tax and sales tax? That's crazy. Property taxes is just a way to make sure people "own nothing and will be happy." The only reason income taxes aren't covering everything nowadays is because of corrupt politicians and because of too many government handouts to corporations. And when it comes to the USA, because of all the wars which eats up most of the tax dollars. Because war is insanely expensive due to the military industrial complex charging insane prices for every little thing. EDIT: And also because so many wealthy people pay only 1% in taxes or less or just nothing.

If you think income tax is necessary you’re either a Keynesian retard or severely economically illiterate. You don’t ever “truly own your property” that’s the entire point of living in a government. Even the pilgrims understood this.

And aren't necessary if there is income tax. Why should there be property taxes if there is already income tax and sales tax?

Income tax is light years more damaging to personal earnings that any other tax, bar none. You’re crying about something that isn’t even a fraction of the lifetime cost of an income tax.

The only reason income taxes aren't covering everything nowadays is because of corrupt politicians and because of too many government handouts to corporations.

That’s just hilariously false, the income tax was always an abuse and was blatantly unconstitutional until congress forced it to fund socialism.

This is just made up socialist bullshit, boomers healthcare and social security costs more than war.

We don't live in the 1800s. Before income tax, people were riding fucking horses on dirt roads. Of course in a world like that, governments don't need a lot of tax dollars.

How does that tweet go? "Boy, I can't wait for The Great War [World War 1] to end so we can get rid of this temporary income tax."

The majority of people who are arguing against property taxes are people who purchased a house and don't want to lose it one day. And think it's just unfair.

Purchased a house and don’t have jobs. There are plenty of welfare queen homeowners.
