How is property tax not government robbery?
>I'm going to charge you yearly for something you already own
>>
>>57267470
You aren't charged a tax for ownership. It's a tax on placement.

>Own a house
>House is in a neighborhood
>Neighborhood has streets
>You use the streets (unless you stay inside on /pol all day)
>Streets are maintained
>Maintenance trucks need gas
>You pay property taxes for gas

See how that works?
>>
>>57267470
P.S. Libertarians should be gassed.
>>
>>57267594
No you pay a gas tax for roads and maintenance
you pay sales tax for the government
And you pay property tax for.... Owning something? So it's ok to charge yearly for ownership?
>>
>>57267594

>>57267767
NO. Gas tax is a state tax. If you want your MUNICIPAL LOCAL streets, curbs, etc. maintained, you pay a property tax that goes to local public works.
>>
>>57268301
So that's your answer? Either pay your taxes or be afraid?
Your just a fucking coward then

>>57268476
I'm just saying your taxed for working, taxes for making a purchase, taxes for owning something, taxed for dying.
At what point do we stop reviving a tax? When we do nothing?
Ultimately my bitch is this. You don't own anything if you have to pay for it yearly, and the consequencr for not making that payment is confiscation.

Yep, sadly I already knew that but how is that even legal(aside from the ones making the laws are the ones collecting the taxes) how is this not government robbery?

Your ownership of property is a burden on the government. It has to provide services for you. Also, the government doesn't operate for free. That money has to come from somewhere.

I'm pretty libertarian too, but you're delusional if you think that we could get by without having SOME taxes.
>>
>>57268476
But depending on where you're at, you may not see your taxes.

Where I live, I have one road out in front of my house. They tar it once every couple years. The taxes that pay for all of that are from excise tax in the town.

If I didn't have property tax, I could live freely and not be forced to use public roads, or any form of transportation aside from what I use on my farm.

My water is pumped from a well. Electricity here is private(And I don't need it). My heat in the winter is from a wood stove. In the summer I just open up windows at night and deal with it.

The property tax is supposed to go to the county, to maintain county matters that have no effect on my daily life.

I could spend more time on my farm, and not work a bullshit job to pay for plates, insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc.

tl;dr

Property tax should be decided and voted upon at a local level, not at a county or state level.
>>
>>57270573
The government taxing me is rape

Ownership is not granted, given or taken. It has to be enforced.

In modern societies we delegate this task to a branch of the government, so you don't have to watch your shit 24/7 like a zoo monkey. So you can focus on other things such as improving yourself and your community.

This costs money. Money split evenly over those who participate in the society.

How is this news to Americans. Are your schools really that poor?

>>57268860
You don't own it, though.
The GOVERNMENT owns it. When you "buy" land, you're not actually owning it, you are granted a LICENSE or DEED to USE the land with certain privileges and restrictions.

If you die and nobody inherits it, the land defaults back to your local municipality.

This is not a big bad federal government thing. This is a literal small local city/county ordinance deal.

I have no problem with this fact. However, I do not think that it should be done in a way which negates property rights. A sales tax makes more sense as everyone should be contributing.
>>
>>57267470

If you are talking about property taxes for your house, that's used for upkeep of your city (fire, police, roads, public services) and for funding your local public schools.
>>
>>57270515
No I never said taxes were justified only that they were voluntary.

You can pay them as needed
I will back to my friend ss an example

> sold his house and all of his belongings in Philadelphia
> moved to one of the most remote places in West Texas
> bought a $700 van and licensed it to a fake address in a state with very low registration fees and no inspections
> he works the oil field when he feels like it and just chills in his van in the desert when he doesn't

Now he obviously owns a vehicle so he voluntarily pays the registration fee and gasoline tax. But he is only paying for the part of the system he uses roads

He often barters for goods and services what will buy things at the store too so therefore he voluntarily pays sales tax as needed or as desired

Sometimes he chooses to work therefore voluntarily paying payroll taxes

But for the most part he only pays taxes when he wants to and what he chooses to participate in the system

> he's been doing it for 5 years and really seems to enjoy the freedom
>>
>>57270582
>Provide services for you

Not for me.

If my home catches on fire it would take 10 minutes for the fire department to get here.

If someone breaks in, it would take hours before the sheriff arrives(No local PD)

If I need an ambulance? It's a private company handling our ambulances here. They'll get here in an hour, and charge me an easy $250.

Once again, nothing wrong with public service, but only those who have the ability to use it should pay for it.

Taxes have been around for a long time anon.

In the days of feudalism you payed to taxes to your lord.

He gave you a bit of land to work and grow crops or whatever you wanted, you paid him a bit of your income in exchange for using his land. You also paid him this tax to ensure he and his army would protect you in the instance of some kind of invasion.

Is he supposed to just let people squat on his land for free?

This would not happen unless sales taxes were exceptionally high. The only areas this would substantially impact would be very rural areas from which people commute to a nearby town to purchase goods. These areas already offer very few services, most of which are managed by the county which would generally be unaffected by such consumer mobility.

If you want to remove yourself from society at will, get a fucking house boat and live in International Waters, return on occasion for supplies.

House boats are not taxed.

However, you'd need a rather large house boat, generator, LOTS of fuel (or a roll-up floating solar cell array), and a way to distil 5+ gallons of ocean water per day. A large solar distillation setup could conceivable be floated on the ocean on calm, sunny days.

You could even have internet and TV via a satellite provider.

You can have private property without some kind of state.

However nothings going to stop anybody from trying to take it from you.

It's only yours so long as you can defend it.

This is why people form a society with a state.
They pay taxes to ensure everybody can keep their property protected.

When you make it a crime to take peoples stuff and have a large force of mercenaries to punish people who try to take your stuff people are less likely to try fucking you over for it.

They also feel less paranoid around other people.
If only you were capable of trying to defend your property you'd be quite wary of anyone you didn't know.

>If you're mortgaging a home, does the bank not technically own the property?

No, the bank lends you the money to buy the home but holds a lien on the property in case you don't repay the loan. You agree to this as part of the mortgage agreement.

>If that's the case, shouldn't the bank pay the taxes until you finish paying it off? Considering you don't technically own the land - the bank does.

Do you people really not understand how anything works?

>>57271805
>In Wyoming, all property is taxable unless it is specifically exempt. All property tax is based on the assessed value of the property. Wyoming's Department of Revenue's Ad Valorem Tax Division supports, trains and guides local government agencies in the uniform assessment, valuation and taxation of locally assessed property.

>Wyoming's property tax rate is 11.5 percent for industrial property and 9.5 percent for commercial, residential and all other property.

>The residence and any additional structures and land are valued. Property taxes are not charged on home furnishings or furniture except where they are part of a furnished rental property.

>"Assessed value" means taxable value. Wyoming is a "fractional assessment" state. This means property tax applies to only a fraction of the full market value of property. This fraction is the property's assessed value. For most property, only 9.5 percent of market value is subject to tax. Consequently, a home worth $100,000 on the market is only taxed on $9,500 in assessed value. The real effect of fractional assessments is to exempt $90,500 of the home's value from taxation.

This is true even with a state. You have now just established an entity to rent your property from.

No, they're not "analogous" to feudalism.

They've been there with feudalism, and they've been around even before then.

They'll always be here. In some way, shape, or form.

Let's say you live on a commune. You live with other people, everyone is expected to do something to the benefit of everyone else based on your skills.

You grow the food, someone else cooks the food, someone does the cleaning, you all work together.

Your labor is the price or tax you pay to participate in their commune or society.

The only way to escape tax is to drop out of society.

you can't name a single rent agreement that isn't a clear contract between two or more parties and which the renter clearly orders or makes use of something he is obligated to pay for later

taxes are something, I didn't agree to or sign for, and pay for more things that I didn't use or order than things that I did

so yeah, if you are a super retarded person and don't understand contracts, consent, or other higher thought like that, you would think rent is the same as taxes

Time for some political realism:
Because you're their vassal.

You are subordinant to your government because it has the force needed to impose its laws onto you. Any and all "rights" you have are simply privileges.

You pay sales, property, gas and whatever other taxes they levy because they have the power to make you.

The strong do as they can, the weak do as they must.

Matthew 22:17-21New International Version (NIV)

17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”

18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
Romans 13:6-7New International Version (NIV)

6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.


Well anon? Are you going to go against God's word?

>You participate in society.
>That's an implicit agreement.
>Taxes are the price of living and participating in our society.
now we are back to the first tax dollar. It was provably collected in a society NOT funded by taxes, and thus your justification just fell apart.

and since you used that unjustified money to build the society you are trying to use as a justification, it is also unjustified

You forget the other side of that coin. If someone wrongs you in a contract, tort or criminal sense, you are able to impose the power of the government upon them.

Fair enough.

Tax money isn't always managed in the most efficient way. But for the most part they benefit me enough that I'm willing to pay them.

Rights do not exist.

The Bill of Rights is the rules your government has chosen to operate by. Tomorrow, they could convene, and create new laws that remove all of your privileges.

the burden is on you to prove that first tax dollar was justified

your current justification for taxes by definition cannot apply

Oh, absolutely. The upside of being a vassal is that everyone in the territory you live in also is following the same set of rules, and that those who make the rules have a vested interest in having them followed, enough that they're willing to work with you to enforce them.

Because you agree to it

/thread

>>57267470
Because the piece of land you own is located in within the State and therefore the state has right to tax you. You are a citizen of the state and you live on land that is ''yours'' with certain rights but it's not completely yours, the land is still part of the nation and property of the nation.

>>57273816
You told me it's unjustified because of some mythical society that existed before the first tax dollar.

Now that I'm asking you tell me about this magical society you're moving the goal posts.

I've already justified why taxes exist.

So until you decide to name this society I'm not going to respond further.

You're either a retard or a troll, possibly both and this "debate" is going nowhere.

>>57273717
The collection of chattel and labor before currency was established to pay others to do so; given these two general resources, materials and troops for warring were established to protect land. Once a society established a currency, the role of protection from foreign instruments is designated to specific portions of society, and they then exchange their currency for the goods and services of those designated to farm and produce.

This is pretty straightforward stuff and is the reason nations aren't invaded every few years.

You are born with zero rights because rights are not a thing. They don't actually exist.

The constitution, like any other law document, has no power beyond that the government in power chooses to give it.

Well to be fair, the bill of rights was designated as "the rights recognized by the government" in the sense that the founders acknowledged these rights as self evident, and that the government should therefore acknowledge their existence. It is true though that they are a construct, just now with governmental enforcement.

Property tax is the Unions best friend.

Look at new jersey. A single family home, 3 bed, 2 bath, 2500 sq ft, cost around 400k to buy and around 10k a year in property taxes. For a young married couple the taxes alone make up over 25% of their yearly income.

And do you know who you have to blame? Teacher's unions. My hometown of Nutley NJ, went overboard in the 60's and raised property taxes 500% to pay for union extortion. Education, Sanitation, Etc.

On the flip side when I lived in Montana, I paid nearly zero taxes, sent my kids to a good school for 2k a year for both, bought water, sewage, electricity services from many different providers and my yearly living cost with mortgage and tuition was less than 5k a year.

But then my boss moved me to NYC and fuck this place.

We're talking about state government, not federal. We're talking about property taxation, not all taxation.
>>
>>57275640
The unintended consequence is that goods and services you still pay for will be more expensive. Changing where the money is collected does not reduce to cost, only reallocates it to commercial goods like food, electronics, etc. since their infrastructural use bears a higher cost which factors into their product price. It's just a matter of whether you pay the tax at the pump or a seller as a surrogate.

How are property rights enforced in a stateless society?

I hate it but i think its alright

i think it makes sure that the land is being used
