Property taxes mean you don’t own your land—you’re just leasing it from the government.
If you have to keep paying the state to stay on what’s supposedly your property, is it really yours? Miss a few payments, and they’ll come take it. That’s not ownership—that’s serfdom with extra steps.
Taxing property is one of the most immoral and destructive forms of government theft. It punishes people for having a home, for building something of value, for simply existing on land they’ve already paid for. And for what? To fund bloated bureaucracies that squander wealth and produce nothing?
A true free market society respects property rights. But when the state can tax you into oblivion or seize what’s yours at will, those rights don’t exist. You’re not a homeowner—you’re a tenant on government-owned land.
Abolishing property taxes isn’t just about keeping what’s yours—it’s about ending perpetual state control over private ownership. If the government can tax your home forever, you never truly own it.
Real ownership means no rent to the ruling class. It’s time to stop paying for permission to live on our own land.
