Why is it that there's 37 billion acres of land, but I have to pay someone else every month to live in an apartment that's a few hundred square feet?

[Desserter4]

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Because you were born in a world where your ancestors established and enforced societal concepts like private property and currency. They also made sure that each square meter on Earth belongs to a country you have to answer to whatever you do. A very few countries even call that square feet instead.

[Desserter4]

So dumb

[OneViewpoint]

Do you own any of that land? Can you build your own home? Do you have the money to pay someone to do it for you? If the answer to those questions is "no", that's why you live in an apartment and pay rent. Welcome to life and Capitalism. It's a competition whether you like that or not.

[Desserter4]

Ok slave

[NoDecision]

Same reason why you have to pay taxes when you buy and own a home and have to pay taxes when you sell it. So, do we actually own our homes?

[Desserter4]

We don't

[NoDecision]

Especially when squatters take over your house and they have more rights than the home owner does.

[NathanDavis]

because that place is not yours... and you're still there, occupying it

if you leave it... you don't have to pay

[Desserter4]

Lmao who gets to decide who owns land? Slave thinking

[Desserter4]

It's as ridiculous as taxing me for breathing cause I don't "own the air"

[NathanDavis]

Haitians did something about it

you won't... you'll just keep paying

[Desserter4]

What did the Haitians do?

[NathanDavis]

lol... 1804 or something?

they decided that they did not want to be slaves, fought it... and abolished themselves against the French ruling

[NathanDavis]

not saying it ended that well though... but at least they did more than just whining

[Desserter4]

So I have to form an army? You're an idiot bro

[exitseven]

because you do not own any of those 37 billion acres.

[Desserter4]

There's no such thing as owning land, seriously. Who decided they own it?

[exitseven]

I have a deed that says I do.

[Desserter4]

Do you pay property tax?

[exitseven]

yes, a shit load of it

[Desserter4]

Ok genius how do you own it if you have to pay someone else who will take it away if you stop paying for it?

[exitseven]

@that is a very good question. We are all slaves to the government except people on welfare

[NaultD]

Where's it's at. Other people would rent that same apartment for a similar price.

[KostasKouvalis]

You don't "HAVE" to do anything. You're allowed to "camp" in a national forest for free

[In_Trance]

Because you spend too much time doing dumb shit and not getting land of your own.

[indissoluble]

Because you didn't buy any land.

[indissoluble]

Want some land, go get a minimum wage job for a couple of months... You're probably not even willing to do that though.

[Desserter4]

Didn't answer the question, immediatedly start making assumptions. Who decides who owns the land? If I buy property I have to pay property tax, how do I own it? It's rent

[indissoluble]

You don't have to pay property tax in every country. If you don't want to pay property tax either lobby your local government or move to a country without property tax you lazy turd.

[Desserter4]

You think lobbying is gonna work or that I can just move away? You sound like a privileged rich kid that doesn't know how the world works. Moody too, do you need a tampon or is your diaper full?

[RingOfFire]

Because someone else owns it not you.

[Desserter4]

Why?

[RingOfFire]

Because they are smarter than you.

[Desserter4]

No..

[Dargil]

Explain how those relate.

[Desserter4]

Figure it out, not gonna hold your hand

[jahaims]

Because you aren't entitled to free land obviously

[Desserter4]

Low iq idiot
