Property taxes, income taxes, are inherently unfair, and stupid. Property taxes prove that you own nothing, the State owns everything. Don't pay you taxes and see what happens to prove the point. Incomes taxes are manipulated for some "social benefit" it seems we don't want people to make alot of money so we punish them by taking it away. If I "owned" a thousand acres of land nd decided to live off it the Government would seize for non payment of taxes. Why can a person have that option if they never leave the property and don't bother (pollute or affect their neighbors) anyone.? Money is only good if you spend it. Someday it will be spent. Just because Bill Gates pays a smaller portion of his income to buy a pizza doesn't mean anything. His heirs will eventually spend the money whether they by a house, a company or pizzas. The money is only good when it is put into commerce. If you enter into commerce an activity regulated by the state you should have to pay for that service. If you drive on a road you should pay for its building and repair (through a license) If choose to interact with society you should pay to support it.
