Not true because you have no choice. You have to live somewhere. If you rent a place, the taxes are built into the rent. If you want to build a place out of lumber, you cut off your own property somehow that piece of **** taxman still shows up to get his cut. If you wanna live in a tent, you gotta pay taxes on the tent. There are simply nothing you can do to put a roof over your head and not pay tax. Therefore, you are being held hostage into a contract you didn’t sign up for.
