Wouldn’t leasing or renting be more accurate depending on what’s involved and the circumstances?

    why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services.

    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?

          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.

            Who are these people who are not taxed? And what do you mean “not taxed”?
