Who cares who paid more real estate taxes?
I do. I think it shows who was more responsible to the country.
Come on, get serious. taxes were paid on the value of the land based on the sale price. The Christians and Muslims owned the land for centuries with sale prices consistent with the values in the past, the Jews were new buyers and paid a lot more for the land so the value on which tax was assessed was higher. Plus the Jews owned more urban land valued higher. It has nothing to do with who was more responsible.
