Property Taxes Invert the Moral Order of Ownership

Source: The Daily Economy
by Vance Ginn

“A property deed should mean ownership, not a renewable lease from the government. Yet that is what property taxes amount to in practice. A family can earn the income, buy the home, pay off the mortgage, maintain and improve the property, and still owe the government every year merely to retain possession of it. Miss enough payments, and the state can seize the property. That may be common. It is not normal in any morally serious sense.” (04/15/26)
