If you are referring to property taxes, I'm all for it. The stated reason for property taxes is that this money is used to support public schools. If that is the case (I don't think it is), then those property owners who don't have children in public schools ought not to have to pay property taxes.

Property taxes essentially diminishes one's right to own property. The simple test for proving this is try paying less than your property tax. You'll quickly find yourself in jeopardy of losing your property through widespread government confiscation practices. That's not real ownership.
