Where do you live now where you find the government so thoroughly controlling of your local economy and homes?

I don't think you're really catching my points or the overall picture here, still focused on little pieces maybe. I'm not sure where your disagreement is, you don't think that property value has a big portion of the overall value of this countries worth and money flow no matter where you live in the US? Or you don't think that ALL of gov, including our political part, hasn't got any big effect or control over our overall economic system or policies, or do you argue that the Federal part of gov has no connection to that big part of the economy? Are you disagreeing with the fact that a big percentage of gov income comes from property owners. Property owners also pay into the other sources with the non property owners?

I'm not debating particular specific property tax rates, and maybe I not explaining well enough. I'm talking about it all including things like tax on capitol gains from sale, rental income, costs that go up as property values go up. They go up too much and the system breaks. Wasn't really looking for arguments in specific pieces or anything, just posting an article about effects of our economic conditions and rising values in the housing market and expressing a point of view.

Of course gov has the control of everyone's economy, they make the rules and policies that we all have to deal with. And of course our property values have a big part in the whole. If gov didn't have all the control, you wouldn't see the billions from big business paying those people for their benefit and there wouldn't be all the lobbyist making good money to facilitate that for them and all the cushy "consulting" or board jobs so many of our congress persons and senators get when they quit gov.

I don't really have the time to go on with this, too much work to do, and it's a pretty deep and involved subject and I'm sorry if I didn't explain clear enough, maybe I'm looking at the macro environment while your looking more at the micro. I was just posting an article and view that I thought might be useful to looking at the economics that we're dealing with now and in the future. Maybe not.
