They aren’t wrong tho. If you stop paying your taxes they will take your house away. So in the end you may “own” it but you really don’t have full control, which raises the question on who really owns the land.

In the end the government has the control. Do you really own it?

If you don’t pay your taxes and have any assets, will a court seize them if you refuse to pay? Sure. A private company can sue you if you don’t pay for services and a court may also seize assets if you lose and refuse to pay. Do you own the assets?

Yes, obviously.

That and expropriation/eminent domain, etc. Even if you pay your taxes, if the government needs it, they have processes to take it.

I’m not saying it’s an inherently bad thing, but it’s another one of those important things to realize is already present if anyone wants to argue for/against certain government reforms.
