Another angle to look at property taxes might be private property rights. From some point of view real estate taxes are a way to deny these rights by forcing owners to pay rent for the right to use the property.
The private property rights of land violate the private property rights of the people around that land as they work to improve their community and do not get compensated for their efforts. Instead, all that income is redistributed to corrupt established owners of land who want their family line to retain power at the expense of everyone else.
You don’t own property in the US and never have. You have a title and deed that result in a lease of land from government and they can enforce taxes as part of that lease.
