Wouldn’t leasing or renting be more accurate depending on what’s involved and the circumstances?

    I don’t know where this conspiracy theory comes from. Property taxes aren’t a rent, but a service fee. Government need money to pay for road, police, hospital, school, culture and everything making your property worth something.

      Why doesn’t ownership of company stock doesnt have any such “service” fee?

          Thats a legal person with free speech rights so if didn’t it would real clown world

          We are talking about the owners who own the property ie shares… Why are you mixing corporate and the shareholders?

          How often does a shareholder get in trouble when corporate does a felony?

          Bootlickers need to learn their corporate and tax regimes in this here cuntry.

          You can’t have it both ways lol

            Never because they don’t decide how the company operates?

                Just so that I understand the question, are you asking why a shareholder has to pay property tax for the company?

                  Why shouldn’t sharebolder pay property tax on shares owned the same way I pay taxes on my house and my car.

      Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.

      It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

        Is it a question of not understanding or not accepting?

              I’m just trying to point out that it’s stupid to tax some people and not others for “roads, services etc” and then when that select group of people fail to pay, they have their home taken away. Meanwhile the people who are not taxed, still get to use those same things.

              i.e. Taxing property is fucking stupid. We should just tax everyone across the board.

              But somehow I’m the lunatic when bringing this to light.

                Who are these people who are not taxed? And what do you mean “not taxed”?

        This thread if full of bootlickers.

        They don’t understand the philosophical under pinnings what you are saying

        Just having a melt down over what they think you are thinking which is clearly wrong
