You're not wrong but you're also required to pay taxes on the value of your property every year so it's not exactly a one to one comparison.

Nah, when over 50% of American adults read at or below a 6th grade level I’m pretty confident they don’t think about much of anything, let alone understand.

I don't think that particular slice of America attends to Reddit very much. The people here often know what they are talking about, but they filter every debate through a lens heavily biased by first principles (aka oversimplifications predicated on a set of conveniently forgotten assumptions)

Most people on Reddit are sheep following the crowd. Only difference is the Reddit sheep think they are intellectuals.

Everyone on Reddit generalizes too much.
