Irrelevant. Many people are stupid.

Paticularly on the internet.

You could also go say, "socialism is amazing" on Reddit and get 5,000 likes in a day.

Does that make socialism amazing?

(apparently in your mind it does)

all of which have been poor analogies, that either don't work or can easily be debunked. (as I have done)

Let’s try this one more time.

the owner pays the property tax.

The tenant pays rent.

and the landlord may recover some or all of his costs through that rent.

That's a different statement than "renters pay property taxes"

which is how you started this thread.

Same concept if they are privately owned single family dwelling properties. It’s your house, you keep it up and make the area more attractive for more people to live, more investment into the community. The state/district/county has no business making money off privately owned property.

Correct. If own a house or two or ten that’s my property. This isn’t England where the king gets his coin because I simply happen to exist on land next to his castle

This thread is great insight into how the american populace continues to elect absolute retards.

Birds of a feather

Before we had an income tax…even then they were on average 1% or less. Gov had plenty of money still. They would’ve started another civil war if they were taxed at today’s rates.
