Excerpt:
"The most evil of all taxes – the tax on property – is evil not so much because it takes but rather because of what it precludes. That being even the possibility of ever owning your home and land. Which is of course precisely what this tax is meant to do – the money-stealing being an incidental benefit to the government which steals it.

The real benefit – to the government – is establishing the principle (and the fact) that no one will ever be able to fully, truly own their home and land. That the government owns all land. The property tax establishes the proper relationship – that of renter and landlord.

The government being the the lord of the land.

The slave is in some ways more meaningfully free than the “free” man. He does not own the hut he sleeps in – and knows it. This being a manifestation of psychological freedom. He does not have to pay “taxes” in order to be allowed to live in the hut, which is also freeing in a way.

The “free” man is in bondage – to the fiction that he owns the house he occupies.

He is deluded by the trappings of ownership, such as a piece of paper that says it’s his. But what is the worth of such a piece of paper in view of the fact that no matter how much he pays in “taxes” on that house, his obligation to continue paying as a condition of occupancy never ends?

This is how the tax on property differs from the tax on income – which ends when one no longer earns a taxable income. Which happy state of affairs would be possible to reach if one were not obliged to continue paying property taxes on one’s home and the land it sits on – without end. Which obliges one to earn income in order to pay them."
