If you're paying a mortgage to the bank, do you count that as renting?
uh, whose name is on the deed of trust????
Doesn't matter. If you still owe the bank money, you're still renting it because if you stop making your payments, you're out on your butt.
:roll:
If you own your house completely, try to stop paying property taxes and see how far that gets you. Does that mean everybody is renting from the government?
Well, property taxes are more of a yearly bribe to the extortionists we call government to leave us alone for another year.
But, basically, yes. Any places that has property taxes, all land is essentially leased from the government.
That's why I'm morally opposed to property taxes. Owning should mean owning.
