No one likes taxes, but let's be realistic here. Do you really want to not have a police or fire department, for example? Or would you rather people just get 5 and 6 figure bills (that they won't be able to pay) when they need to use said services?
Surely you are ok with us having roads and bridges, and understand that these things are not free to build or to maintain, yes?
One thing I will give you is school taxes. I don't understand why a homeowner with 0 kids has to pay for other people's kids to go to school. Meanwhile, the renter with 5 kids pays nothing. Yes, I understand it's for the general good of the community to educate the children, but I'm never quite understood why THAT money comes out of property taxes.
