The problem with property tax is that it furthers the false notion that government owns all property and you just rent it from them.

The problem with income tax is that it furthers the false notion that government has the right to know how much money you make (let alone are entitled to take part of it).

Sales and usage taxes are the only fair way to do it ... unfortunately government has ballooned to a size significantly beyond what the founders envisioned to be able to survive on the tiny taxes they should be allowed to collect.

We're going to continue on until the system has a catastrophic failure ... then instead of blaming bloated government they'll blame capitalism and well all end up living in a giant communist prison camp (because capitalism IS freedom, freedom IS capitalism ... you can't separate the two).
