It's all rent, if people really owned their homes and lands they would not need to pay any taxes or inheritance tax on them.

Yeah, you raise a good point. I think the way we "own" land in most of the western world is a slight modification of the way in feudalism, the lord owned the land and you had to pay him rent for it, but we call that rent "property tax" now. But the lord, aka the state, is the real owner. There may be some parts of Scotland/Scandinavia where people still really own their property if I remember correctly but don't quote me on that.
