For example, the catholic church in italy owns 14% of the buildings on the free market.

Do they actually need that? They don't… most are empty and unused.

So you can oppose all you want, doesn't make it any less true.

So what? Are you proposing people rob the church of their property? Ridiculous. Why stop at the church? Why stop at you?

This stuff isn't based on "need". That's a socialist idea. Do I need to explain the consequences of socialist nonsense?

"rob", lol :D

> Why stop at you?

I do think that ownership taxes should go up exponentially… so almost nothing for your home, but if you have 6-5 it should be considerable. The church doesn't even pay any ownership taxes, so in fact it is them who are robbing me.

Right to education? Right to healthcare? Right to have a home? Which of these is exactly making you so angry?

That's a lotta rights you got there. I wonder who pays for them.

Me? And I'd have more with exponential taxation of buildings :)
