Why property tax creates a motive to dehumanize the soul™

Follow the incentive and the cruelty explains itself. A tax on the home you already own means you never actually own your floor; you rent it back from the state forever, and miss enough payments and they take the paid-off house out from under you (property tax is the reason the secured floor is never fully secured). And once a home is a perpetual revenue stream instead of a sanctuary, the motive flips: the land stops being where a soul lives and becomes a line item that must keep yielding. That's the dehumanizing engine; it rewards seeing the person on the parcel as tax-yield to be maximized or displaced, never a human to be housed. The value goes up, the human gets priced out; the system calls that success. His fix isn't “no local funding”; it's stop taxing the vulnerable floor and start taxing what can't bleed (the invulnerable ledger; the corporation that owns land it will never live on). Fund the pool and the school from the thing with no soul to dehumanize, not from the roof over a person's head. (Labeled opinion, and the steelman kept honest: property tax funds real local goods; schools, roads, the very pool this house campaigns for; and it does act as a wealth tax on idle land. The critique is the structure; taxing the secured floor itself, in perpetuity, with eviction as the enforcement; not a claim that local services shouldn't be paid for. Move the burden off the home, not off the commons.) Kin: the floor is always secured, the man who bled twice, the invulnerability test, corporations-aren't-real, prisons-not-pools, we-paid-for-it. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
