If you pay 1% for one house, someone with 2 houses should pay 2%, and a company with 2000 homes should pay 2000%

That would make it increasingly difficult for mega companies to buy up everything and torture the housing market

    That’s not an individual country’s decision to take.

    What isn’t? How to tax it’s citizens? Pretty sure individual countries are the only ones making that decision.

    People look for housing and landlords provide a valuable service to society

    Almost, people need housing and landlords can exploit that need. Renters provide a valuable service to landlords. How about this analogy: people need food, but that doesn’t mean every single company that sells food is good for society, or even good for the individual people they sell to. Many are the opposite, at least in the US. Look I’m not arguing for banning buying more than one property, though I’m not against it, all I’m saying is that your claim that people “look for” landlords is absurd.

      No. Countries make that decision based on the international tax rates. If your tax rates are too high, companies will move to other countries.

      Selling food is God’s work.

        That makes sense, God must be the one poisoning all our meat and produce since Trump defunded the FDA. ✊↔️
