an income tax assumes all money belongs to government to use or redistribute it as it wants.

a property tax assumes all property belongs to the government, and we all just lease it until the government decides it wants it back (eminent domain)

face it, we don't live in a free country any more (sigh)

I know.

That's why I support the FairTax (HR 25), a 23% across-the-board national retail sales tax (NRST). OF course, you would still have property taxes, which make us all serfs. But land taxation has been around since the Founding, so we've always been serfs...
