I'd agree with property before income or anything else.
Property tax makes it impossible to own your property. The government owns it. This is far worse, I feel, than having to pay a portion of whatever your income is.
One thing to consider is that it's only ever a percentage of what you make, whereas if you get a property and then lose your job, you may not even be able to afford the taxes on it. Whereas with income tax, you don't have to pay tax on an income you don't have.
An income tax is much more in favor of freedom than a property tax. With income tax, you can in theory quit your job and live off the land. With property tax, you can get fucked and die with nothing to show for it, since even if you do try to live off the land in the middle of nowhere without ownership, it'll be taken from you the moment you get anywhere since you wouldn't own the land you're trying to live off of.
Obviously income tax is shit and should go as well, to be clear.
