very true, in more ways than one.
governments are often the holders of the mortgages people have, and then even after the mortgage is paid off there is still a property tax burden forever.

But they acquired all this land fair-and-square on our behalf, so it makes sense, right?
reply
The use of the land reminds me of the use of the sky. The sky also has been "acquired" on our behalf, however I am still puzzled to understand why where I live I need to pay a fee every 5 years to fly and send radio waves. Then I wonder if this "acquisition" of the part of the land and the part of the air I breath at regular intervals should be taxed for "security" reasons or for "fairness". Particularly, given these legislations change with time and can vary depending on the country, I feel tempted to question these past and new rules for taxation.
