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 want to pay your local lord for the privilege any and all material possessions because those actually just belong to the local lord and not you. Stop pussy footing around it and own your position: You don't believe in the concept of owning property.
This is so hilariously stupid it’s adorable. Tell me when the roving band of ferals come for you are you going to be able to fend them off yourself? If the government comes and claim’s eminent domain are you going to fight them off? The South African farmers fleeing to the US are glad to pay property taxes for that reason.
You’re a child larping as an adult thinking that somehow not paying a tax on something makes it “yours”, hilariously coddled first world view. Have you written you state government demanding they have no claim to your property?
I’ll wait.
Cool. So let's take away one of their reasons to do so, and we can work on the others later.
Why? So we can be Africa with roving ferals?
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.
He's got a fair point about locality, but your point about ownership trumps it.
If the people who live in houses that cost 2x more are getting 2x more out of schools, etc. it would be reasonable. The higher costs come with more benefits. The problem arises when it's any higher level of government doing the collecting. State property taxes for example. The people who spent more on their homes get the honor of shoveling money into a furnace for gibs on the other side of the state. That's not reasonable. Even before addressing the question of ownership.
As loathe as I am to say so, the Euros actually figured it out a long time ago with VAT. It doesn't matter how much you make or save. If you don't consume, you don't pay. The more basic the item, the less is paid. And it's constantly visible. Instead of people realizing they're getting nothing for their tax money once a year, they see it constantly and might actually react.
VAT is an economy killer, there’s a reason Europe is stagnant. Property tax is the least disruptive tax for economic development, it’s inarguably the best one for a stable economy.
And you own nothing because it is assured by no one, you fucking retard.
The income tax slave mindset is truly hilarious. You’re bitching about a tax that has existed since the inception of the country and is by far the easiest to manage. The property tax is set by your local community, it is the easiest for the local populace to control, it is the easiest to build a nice area and keep out degenerates, it is the best tax to not inhibit economic growth. You however, in your boomer retard brain only see having to save money to pay taxes in the future as the worst possible thing to ever happen. You would never survive a winter.
Here comes the boomer socialist. I’m sorry I made money and have a community. I’m sorry you’re too lazy to build up your community let alone be apart of it.
I think he made better points than you.
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.
There’s dozens of countries where government won’t interfere or intercede for you, try one!
You won’t because you want to bitch, I’m sure you’re well aware of the reality of anarchic structures.
North Korea is right there, and yet you're here. Why? Because you want to bitch AND remove peoples freedom.
Also, there aren't any - you're just being a buffoon.
Also, also - everything I said was and is true.
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.
