PropertyTax pisses me off to no end, along with inheritance tax, but property even more.
Those two should have had their own articles in the original Bill of Rights, since property tax negates the very concept of property, and inheritance tax is double taxation on family earnings.
Tax on property should only be assessable at the point of sale, as in the case of chattel property, non-cumulatively. The idea of a regularly assessed tax on land holdings goes back to the times of Lords being mere holders of the land for the King, rather than actual owners of it. When we gave up kings and lords, that should have gone away right along with them.
