Good Morning
We own land and used to own more. No matter how cheap the land gets, the problem is taxes. The rural school districts have learned well from their city brothers - and gone sky high.
I used to lease our land out to people to run cattle on it. At first the rent would pay all the taxes and give us a bit of a profit. Then as taxes went up, the lease payments would just cover them. Eventually it got to a point where I couldn’t get enough lease money to pay the ever increasing taxes!
Government at every level and every type has simply become criminal!
When the gov’t can take your property for non-payment of taxes, you don’t actually own property anymore.
You merely lease it from the government. The state owns all property.
