They also fished and hunted for their foods and cast their own lead bullets, but there were no supermarkets and few if any doctors. You can still find plenty of places off the beaten path, but that does not support your position. Some taxes are legitimate. The problem is that they have far exceeded their legal limits. The “government” is only responsible for a limited number of things, including the military, but people have elected fools who think everyone is responsible for everything for everyone else. Education and health care are two things that are not named in the Constitution as being the duty of the “Federal Government.” When people start being responsible for themselves again, we wouldn’t have exorbitant taxes. Instead of being down on private ownership, start being down on “gimmie” politicians.
I’m not arguing against taxes. I’m just saying that “property taxes” effectively nullify genuine ownership. You don’t pay, you don’t stay (eventually). It’s rent.
