  Play? You’re always billionaires’ advocate. Water, power, and data have their own separate bills already. Roads are paid for through gas taxes.

    The county offices aren’t billionaires. They tax the billionaires. They are literally the kind of institutions that billionaires fight to control or dismantle.

      You tried to say that the current system where billionaires don’t pay taxes on unrealized income while ordinary homeowners do is a fair arrangement because homeowners use things they pay for in other bills and taxes.

      I’d say to stop simping for the worst humans, but I think you’d evaporate if you tried.

        I wouldn’t say it is fair, no, but I am defending property taxes an the two aren’t really comparable at all.
