Your land should be your jurisdiction.

Oh, of course we need some sort of taxation, I'm just saying that real-estate taxes seem to be a form of de facto perpetual rent and a mechanism to evict "owners" at the whim of moneyed-interests.

Again thank you. I see your stance way clearer after you added a bit more nuance. I think there is a big grey area between sovereign property and paying fair rent... Fair rent is definitely a more reasonable (or rather more realistic) demand than sovereignty.
Perhaps the sentiment also has to do with which states we live in... I recently saw my property tax go up but about $300 for the year, but i live in one of the comparatively low tax states... i imagine that the situation is way worse for people living in states like NY, VT, CT.

Good point.
