I don’t know where this conspiracy theory comes from. Property taxes aren’t a rent, but a service fee. Government need money to pay for road, police, hospital, school, culture and everything making your property worth something.

Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.
It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

Is it a question of not understanding or not accepting?

Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?

At least in Germany, the communal tax related to the house are payed indirectly from the tenants via the landlord.
