Are you aware that most if not all of the colonies had property taxation, which increased greatly during the Revolution, and continued under the states?
Amounts and how taxes are levied has changed, but back in the time of the Founding, if you didn’t pay your property taxes it would be taken for taxes just like today.
You could put it off until your death, in most cases. At that point, the State would step in and get its pound of flesh. I'm talking about the laws passed within recent decades which forfeit "your" land to the true owners after a short period of time, typically three-four years.
I don't disagree with paying property taxes, but I can't understand how our true owners conned the peasantry into accepting this state of affairs.
I mean, if you own a chunk of property worth $50,000 outright, and the State puts the arm on you for $500, which you don't pay for whatever reason - how is it that the State can steal that property just to get their $500?
The peasants were asleep at the switch when those particular outrages were passed in the middle of the night.
And not just land - but personal property, as well. Virginia itself is a notable example.
