Yeah, it’s really important to own a house and land, but so long as the State can tax it, you really are just renting from them.

Now you count on them not raising your property taxes to the point of seizure because powerful people own land and wouldn’t go for that, but of course, in a communist state, they would just seize land from plebs and make exceptions for the powerful.

So while the current state of affairs persists — *some* respect for property rights, but again they are taxing you, I agree. The problem is that you’re really at their mercy in this case.

Whereas if you had some unseizable wealth you could just take it with you to a place where property rights were respected and buy land there.
