How are we full property owners if we pay property tax!?
BTW. Property tax is added to the cost of rents too.

Property taxes make you property of the Government?

I own products I buy although I pay a sales tax on them. I own the income I make although I pay an income tax. I own my home although I pay a property tax. I am the full property owner because I can sell my house at market value.Originally Posted by RyszardKuklinski

If you don't pay your property taxes see how long you last!
Althea told me...........
Property taxes are a tax deduction.

Property taxes can add a lot to rents too.
Why is it helpful for the working & lower classes to have less ability to buy property & or pay rents!?
Althea told me...........
Property/School taxes should be a shared burden. State taxes should be raised in order to lower the burden on the homeowner.
However, if you want local services, someone is going to pay for them. Your suggestion would beg the same exact 'burden' question by smokers/drinkers

You do not believe we should have a government that operates on taxes? No defense, no immigration control, no highways? It would not be fair for you to help support those functions while I could refuse to pay my taxes with no penalty.

Complex question fallacy. Of course, government needs taxes to do stuff. What they don't need necessarily is to tax real estate to get that money. Defense, immigration law, highways are not paid from property taxes now by the way.
Althea told me...........
So how do you fund schools/cops/services?
I pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation. I say the burden should be shared by everyone in the state. Renters included. Most renters will claim that taxes are built into rent. That isn't necessarily true.
Property taxes were a tax deduction on income taxes until trump decided to make Blue states pay more.

Why is property tax any more objectionable than sales or income tax. You can also be punished for not paying those. If it is not my property because I have to pay property taxes it follows that it is not my car because I have to pay a sales tax.

If you buy a new refrigerator you pay tax on it once, not every year.

In many countries you have to pay an annual tax for a television and in some cases a radio...

True, but I pay sales taxes on many other items I buy each year that provides taxes for those government functions that depend on sales taxes. If I paid property taxes only once the city and school district would have no funding for those years.
