The State doesn’t really want you to own anything. They might let you use stuff, but ultimately they consider it all to be their property.

I remember being elated the day I made my last mortgage payment. I finally "owned" my own house!

And then I got my property tax bill and realized: I merely went from debtor to the bank, to renter to the State....

Yep! And if you don’t pay the “tribute” to the government “kings” you will lose your house. How about that? I pay more in yearly taxes on my house that the rent I used to pay for a whole year 15 years ago in a rent house. YOU NEVER GET OUT OF MONTHLY PAYMENTS for the rest of your life...whether it be for paying the cost of the house or the NEVER ENDING RENT “TRIBUTE” TO THE KING.
