But you must pay tribute in the form of thousands of dollars in property taxes. Your first born child may also be acceptable.

€98/yr
Not everywhere is America, fellow hacker.
America has $0 property taxes in unincorporated Alaska, and possibly a few other places. The rates are determined locally. I pay very little but we also have no public roads and basically no fire or police -- you can pretty much pick what property tax rate you want if you're a little bit mobile.
To be fair, we were talking about Capitalism. There are few places more capitalistic than America currently.
But wow, 98€ is about how much it takes for me to take my family out to lunch at a fast food restaurant.
china being the obvious example?
the US seems much more speculation and leverage based, rather than capital being used by private owners to apply labour to to make useful goods
Whoa nice, that's nuts. Curious what country if you don't mind sharing! No worries if not
No idea where they are but when I had a very cheap house in Ireland the property taxes were only a bit over €100 per year.
