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.
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.

Is it a question of not understanding or not accepting?
Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?

Anyone who doesn’t rent or own a home does not pay property tax (indirectly or directly). Thus, they are paying less taxes overall.

At least in Germany, the communal tax related to the house (Grundsteuer) is payed indirectly from the tenants via the landlord.
