Entry: Diana Deserves Better Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/diana_deserves_better#4233 Post contents: @brmerrick <<A. Capp, get back to me when someone has invaded or acquired your land, using “eminent domain” perhaps, and then starts charging you rent, and see whether you think it’s “rent” or a “tax.”>> My point exactly. There's no difference between a "landlord" and the government. Both "set the rules", and if you choose to live, then you must play by thier rules. The rent you pay a landlord is no different than the taxes you pay a government - both are one and the same. To complain that the Queen of England simply sits around and receives tax money is the same compaint about a landlord who simply sits around and receives rent. Both the Queen and the landlord provide the same service: NOTHING. Sent at: 2008 09 06
