You need to keep up the mortgage

Perfectly normal business ... What are you worried about?

i wouldn't want to live in a country where you can default on your end of a contract & face no consequence.

which isn't to say that i wouldn't want to help someone who has bad luck, hits hard times.

but one of the great benefits of the free market system is that it's not just one game. if you lose once, that doesn't mean you've lost forever. you get to play again. nobody has a perfect winning record.

& the losses are important. this is one of the lessons that i think is gained from an economics education, that losses are just as important as wins, and that we have to let the losses happen & let the consequences flow through the system.

nothing wrong with the free marketz. what wrong is the big brother government reachin into ur pocket just because you own a piece of real estate. this aint no free country

ah, ok. i didn't quite get your point.
in that case, i am actually pretty sympathetic to your point!
though i personally am more opposed to income taxes than property taxes.
my hierarchy of preferences of kinds of taxation goes:

best: comsumption taxes
middle: property taxes
worst: payroll & income taxes.

yeah consumption tax is the best tax. property payroll and income taxes are all unconstitutional
