Land taxes are the most defensible form of taxation. Fight me.

KO, you’re wrong. Just another grab. Thanks for playing
Not an argument. Thanks for playing.
Fight me sounds like you want an argument. Tax on my land is wrong. It’s all made up BS. 34 trillion in debt, they need sacking. Taxes are theft period. Go print it
Tax on land is basically protection. You pay to have the land as yours. Otherwise, what does land property even mean, without protection of the claim? Who says what is whose? And is that up for debate, by whom?
If i buy land, i have deeds to the land, i don’t need to pay tax. The land is mine. Or should be. We’ve allowed a system of theft to take pretty much anything
Who am I paying tax to and why?
What is your reasoning behind this opinion?
You pay them to not invade your land with force. They effectively own it.
More so nice than road taxes? 🤨
Why are you volunteering your energy to run defense for the regime?
You know they pay their own people for that, right?
You’re the tax me harder meme
Any kind of property tax is the most despicable. If you can be forced to pay property taxes, you do not own your property. You rent your property. This is especially true if they can kick you off your property for failure to pay.
I'd argue that the only pseudo acceptable form of taxation is a sales tax. It is better because you see the tax with every purchase, so people are more likely to vote against it. In theory you can avoid paying by not buying anything. Of course nobody can 100% avoid paying a sales tax because nobody can be 100% self sufficient, but people can work hard to become more self sufficient and therefore cut their taxes.
All taxes are theft, but some are more egregious. I would put property taxes (especially real estate taxes) as the most egregious, followed by income taxes, and then Value Added Taxes.
