If we have the right to own property in the US, then when the government forces me to pay property tax every year, aren’t I really renting property as oppose to owning it? Would that make property tax unconstitutional?

Property tax clearly prohibits the ownership of property. No rational person believes an owner is someone who must make payments to another to keep what they own. Property tax "FORCES" you into government servitude to keep your home. This makes property tax more like slavery than ownership. Definitely it can be stated that property tax is the evolution serfdom where kings and lords have been replaced by rulers of the state. You can own your pants and your shirt but because of property tax no one can own a home. The American dream is a lie.

So besides prohibiting the ownership of property what else do property taxes do? In that liberty can be defined as freedom from debt it is also true that property tax prohibits the “acquisition” of liberty. Property tax is the only tax that forces you into debt. It can never be paid off and if you can’t pay them the government kicks you and your family out of your home into the street.

If prohibiting home ownership and denying the people their right to acquire liberty are not unconstitutional then I suggest we need a new constitution.

That the state retains ownership of everybody's property is an undeniable fact. That, homesteaders are not homeowners and that they are just paying rent to the state is an undeniable fact. The owner is the one with the right to acquire possession of property when the renter fails to make payment. That the state has this right because of property tax is obvious.

If you had no idea it was the government demanding payment and not a landlord the only difference you would be able to discern from conventional rent would be the terms of your rental agreement. All the material facts that determine who the owner is and what a renter is remain the same. All arguments which try to prove that property tax is not the logical equivalent of rent are based on the justification of the tax and are irrational from the prospective of what is ownership and what is a renter.

If we are to believe that the state is not the owner charging homesteaders rent we would have to conclude that an owner is some one who has to make payment to someone else or lose possession of their property. This is absurd and a complete contradiction of what is ownership.

Our government needs to quit lying to the people and just come out and admit they are unwilling to let the people own their homes.

Perhaps the reason our government and others persist in this lie is that if the truth were known property tax would be found to be unconstitutional. One can only hope so.
