How so? Don't rich people usually own more property than poor people?

How much is $1500 for a millionaire?

[josephcsible]

But property tax isn't a flat $1500. The more valuable the property you own, the higher the tax is, and richer people tend to own more valuable property.

uhhh, hate to break it to you bub but a $1M home in the bay area which does not buy you much is going to cost close to $15k a year in property taxes (source: owner of said property in the bay area)

[exabrial]

precisely. $1500 is a year's worth of food for someone at the poverty line. For a bajillonaire, it's a rounding error.
