Philosophy and enforcement
editGiven that there are so many people arguing against property tax (and claiming that it de facto means you can't actually own property), would it be worth including sections on the philosophical and political arguments for and against property taxes, and on how the taxes are enforced and defaulters punished? (Most of the arguments against it here and elsewhere seem to presume that there is no mitigation for low incomes, and that failing to pay the tax results in the government confiscating the property. I'm pretty sure that in the UK the former is untrue, and the latter only in the most extreme circumstances. See e.g. https://www.rushmoor.gov.uk/article/3224/What-happens-if-you-dont-pay-your-council-tax

William the Conqueror?
editThe article currently says "During the 1170s, William the Conqueror established an early form of land taxation"
William the Conqueror died in 1087, so something is wrong with this sentence, but I can't tell whether it's the year or the person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:87A0:F0F:C431:E59C:A099:E350 (talk) 01:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
