    I already paid more than a paycheck for my modest house’s taxes.

    People who own their own house are not at fault for this situation.

      You didn’t read or understand what I wrote.

      1. If you live in the house, you pay less tax.

      2. If you’re a wall street investor hiring a property manager to rent out a house you own but have never seen, you pay more tax.

      You paid more than a paycheck in taxes? That sucks. Let’s knock a little off of that tax bill for you.

      The investment firm that leases to your neighbor? Yeah, we’re gonna send their taxes through the roof.

      Please tell me you understand that part first, and then we can discuss how land contracts and private mortgages convert “tenants” into “homeowners”.
