Nobody is disputing the need for taxes or what their purpose is. The issue is that taxing a homestead is effectively a lease, even if not written as such.

It also begs the question, why are you being taxed more than me? We use the same roads, schools and services. Yet assuming you’re a homeowner you’re paying more for the same shit.

Is it a question of not understanding or not accepting?

  Indeed, you are not understanding. I do not own or rent a home. So again I ask, why are you paying more taxes than me?

At least in Germany, the communal tax related to the house are payed indirectly from the tenants via the landlord.
