I like the idea of owning land, but it does not exist. You essentially lease parcel #123456789102 from the government. Merely purchasing the right to fix up the property that you reside in. That is all.
Stop paying "rent" aka taxes and see how long your property is yours.
The most disgusting tax that I have come across is called Personal Property Tax. Any moveable property residing on the business presmises is subject to taxation. For example, computers, paintings, pictures, shelves, tables, chairs are all subject to taxation. As well as software for any PC's. Can you say Bull shit? /rant off
