Sure, but that's not because they're the government, that's because they're an entity above a certain threshold of power. Don't think for a second that Intel, Apple, Monsanto, Goldman Sax, Rupert Murdoch or any of the others wouldn't do the same thing, if they could.

Governments and private business both hold considerable power above just about any individual but that does not mean they are the same basic thing. Though due to our shitty electorate those lines can blur when the government and private interest collude;

Kelo v. City of New London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thats the kind of shit that should of caused a uprising.

The US federal government doesn't collect property taxes, it's barred by the constitution. Most states don't either. It's a municipal tax... and there's plenty of shitty towns with 0 services where taxes are absurdly low.

And? Is the authority of Los Angeles county less binding or legitimate than the Federal's? Government is government and your local podunk county can fuck you just as hard as the big guys in dc.

Municipalities should just fund roads, sewer, water, power, gas etc with unicorn farts. Who needs property taxes?

If the government could charge you for unicorn farts, they would.

Property taxes pay for all that? Man why do we pay for water, electricity, garbage services, and have high gas taxes then?!

Members of the Unicorn Fart Cartel don't have to pay any of that.

...you missed out.

I'd like an fully itemized bill from the government, that would turn some heads.

I believe in many places if not most, maintenance and upgrades for local roads is funded by property taxes though there are probably ways to qualify for some amount of state or federal funding to augment that.

Property taxes also commonly fund police departments, emergency services, and public schools.

Isn't Big P a Merlinesque hypocrite anyway, receiving benefits for federal programs even though he was useless in the Armed Forces and after?

He is ex-military living some kind of minimalist lifestyle while going to school. If I recall.

That would be a shitstorm. Especially if you could see other people's bills. I'm sure the single childless millionaire would be pissed off that they're contributing $80K a year to schools while somebody that lives in an apartment and has 4 kids is paying nothing.

And we'd all get to feel all warm and fuzzy over some multi-billion dollar corporation with a bill lower than a 12 year old's weekly allowance.

Bundy's militia stopping people at checkpoints and making them prove they live there before letting them pass... armed and loitering around schools, roads and churches.

People who rent apartments pay property taxes, its just included in their rent.

...and it's time for them to get Waco'd. Time for the Gummint to curb stomp them in spectacular fashion.

I hope they do it with a predator drone for maximum effect.

It's probably a pretense for apprehending illegals.
