    Heavens, paying tax for services provided by the state, what a totalitarian nightmare. Fuck schools, clean water, street lighting, and disease vector abatement.

      To be fair, property tax is pretty much bullshit. Had to move from my childhood home because they redid a mall nearby which raised property taxes in that neighbirhood so high my single mother couldn’t afford it anymore. I mean, I get it, fuck us we’re just people not “the masses,” but it left a bad taste in my mouth for “pay me not to steal your shit” taxes.

        I think to survive in that situation they expect you to become a landlord and rent out your property, that’s rough

      Are you squints claiming land goes to school? Drinks water? Needs to see in the dark? Is worried about getting sick?

      Because OP wasn’ts complaining about taxes in general, they were specifically complaining about real estate taxes.
