Sounds like the scheme from the movie "In Time" where the poorer people had to work in slave factories or some other dismal trade just to by enough minutes to stay alive, but in the walled off richer part of town the people has thousands of years of minutes of "like minutes" and could do as they pleased.
Every slavery and human-trafficking group does the same thing. Fabricate some excuse about how the person is in debt for some mythical past service, and demand they work for free to pay it back and in the meanwhile their passports are seized, and so on. And they get never get set free.
Except now it will be called a carbon-debt or some such other globalist label.
Sounds like how things are now. Imagine that no matter right you play the game you can never own you home outright. You are obligated to pay property tax for rest of life, and should you miss a few payments, despite paying the entire home off, the government can confiscate your home and kick you out.
It would be an interesting thing to see some local government candidate run with the sole platform of zeroing all local taxes and firing every single staffer, themselves included. If it could happen locally, then at city levels and then state levels, you could have that accountability finally.
What valuable service is the government doing for your property that justifies this tax every year? Are you getting good value for these dollars being spent? Can anyone honestly say 'yes' to a question like this, anywhere in the world?
