Property taxes mean that you don't own the property, you're just renting it from the government. In my perfect world there would be no such thing as property taxes and owned property would be unseizable.
Me too.
In my Utopia, there would be no property taxes or income taxes and no seizures of such for any reason.
I agree, someone once asked me why I said we are not free and I replied that we cannot even own real estate. She looked at me like someone filled with the certain knowledge that she had just learned that I was a complete idiot. I told her that if she really thinks she owns real estate she should just stop paying the annual rent to the county and see what happens. I also told her that a deed to real estate is, in reality, only a long term lease guaranteeing the right to rent the property from the county as long as you don’t miss a rent payment. When you sell you are merely selling your lease. I don’t think she ever grasped my meaning though.
I remember a big hubbub years ago which occurred in California IIRC. People who had “owned” nice homes for many decades were finding themselves unable to pay the property taxes on their retirement income so they had to find a buyer or lose the place to the county. One government representative who was asked about it said something to the effect that these people just needed to face the facts, they could no longer afford to live where they had been living. Imagine that, you pay a mortgage for decades and then when you no longer have a mortgage you cannot afford to pay the damned taxes to stay there. Worse yet, the property taxes go to pay for public schools to teach the children to hate America and to promote gay “marriage”.
