Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)?

Paying taxes is different than paying to own. It is one way that money is collected to pay for common needs like roads, parks, and schools and is more consistent than income or other taxation because we know how much land exists.

I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?
