...eliminate the property tax...

An acreage tax would not be a property tax. Structures would not be taxed, just the acreage.

[Smokin' Joe]

Acreage is property. It takes 5 or more sections of land here to grow wheat and make a living at it. Each section is a square mile: 640 acres. Stuff the tax. You buy the land, it should be yours, not rented from the Government.

If they put a tax lien on your property, they don't cart the structure away, they take it, dirt and all.

There are plenty of other ways for the government to raise money, and considering the rules Government has promulgated which often preclude the profitable use of privately owned land, the harvesting of privately owned timber, and other uses, for the government to levy a tax on that land is obscene.

Less government is the goal.
