More than likely, you'd have to fail to pay for several years for the Man to take the property.

Even so, I totally agree with you. No one ever really owns anything in America, they lease it.

This is also true with an increasing number of non-real assets. Many states have an excise tax on cars (though I wouldnt live in any of them...again).
