[Vision2020] Government killing, etc.

[Luke]

Dear Visionaries:
    After yesterday's city tax increase by 4%, a question popped into my
mind. Why do we pay property taxes? It seems rather ridiculous that someone
can make you pay constant rent for what you own. If I work hard and earn up
money to buy a house, once I've paid the 150k or more I shouldn't have to
keep
paying. We as a nation are falling asleep, and big government is snatching
our rights out from under us; why does the gov get to do this? Aren't the
massive sales and import taxes enough?
    Sincerely,
Luke Nieuwsma
