Can someone please explain to me property tax? Why should I pay the government for shit that I own? I can understand property tax for a factory or a business but our homes? I'm essentially paying rent to keep my own shit.

The whole point of property tax is for funding services such as fire protection and garbage pickup. Where I live, garbage pick-upis are 100% privatized and I have to pay for it separately. If I'm not mistaken, my income taxes pay for all the other shit like police and firefighters. So WTF am I paying for?

Is the whole thing a scam by the government to get more of our hard earned cash?

What was the point in starting this thread if you were just going to answer your own question?

It doesn't matter what "whole thing" you're referring to. The answer to this question is always yes.

In the US the continued deficit spending, passing unfunded mandates and habit of dipping into previously off limit funds for pet projects, has destroyed any faith I once had in government taxation.

The property tax weakens any attempt to create a nobleman class.

Stupid fag, there is no federal property tax.

Need the white man to pay for school for niggers and anchor babies to drop out of.

No, it is total bullshit.
It is government screwing you over for their own interest.

Seems you need to go talk to this guy

Originally it was so wealthy didn't just hoard land because land is one of the most valuable assets.

But most governments need it because they can't be bothered to spend money efficiently.
