We are all renters.  You only get the use of a piece of property if you continue to send in your rent payments, a.k.a. property taxes, every year.

Think about it.  You can win the lottery and for $100,000,0000 dollars and buy your dream property. But you won't be able to hold on to it too long unless you can pay the property taxes every year.  Do you have a million dollars per year to pay the taxes?  If not, it goes back to the government so they can rent it out to someone else who can pay the rent.

Some how that just doesn't seem right to me.  It never really crossed my mind until I looked up what some multi million dollar home owners pay in property taxes.  It doesn't seem fair to me.  They use the same services as me but get penalized for being able to own an expensive home. 

I guess the government has to squeeze the money out of the people who have it.  Shouldn't there be a cap?
