I actually heard something along these lines the other day. One guy was proclaiming (and I couldn't tell if he was serious or playing the devils advocate) that because we have to pay property taxes, it is the state that owns the property and we are merely leasing it. When we put a property up for sale, we have to pay all kinds of taxes when its sold.
I got a little tired of listening to him because he was rather obnoxious, but I almost thought his opinion had a bit of merit.
Do you have a link to a source for this?
