 If your ownership of something is dependent on paying annual taxes, do you really own it? 
 Rental 
 No 
 If the state has any idea that you own it everything else is moot 
 Then you ask, why even pay taxes, since they can just print the money? 
 To prevent a form of eviction. 
 To enslave. 
 No, that’s extortion comrade. 
 Ownership is not permissioned 
 Great point. We are lead to believe that we do own the assets that incur annual taxes. They can be taken away at any point. 
 You mean like your government issued identity? 👀 
 Rental from the state 
 Maybe all we can truly own is our mind, if that.  
 No.

Your are renting it from the government.  
 No. 
 Nope. If you don’t pay Papa trudeau will rug the house from under you. Maybe some jail time as a bonus
Sounds more like rental with an added threat of violence to me 🤷🏾‍♂️
