Gotta disagree with people on here.
Taxation is theft but we have to have it for a functioning society.
I prefer the property tax to income or sales because
1. It is negotiable - or fight your value. Income sales and worst of all vat are not negotiable. One formula that's it
2. Local control - ALL of your property taxes are levied by someone who most likely lives in your county and many times by you when you vote for a bond. Income sales and the vat all go to a higher jurisdiction that throws it into a pot you may or may not get back
New sales taxes to be replace property taxes will broaden the base and most likely be levied on house transactions- that's terrible
VAT - taxes professional services and every time an item changes hands - truly the worst tax ever
Also property taxes, for the most part, stay local. Every time you send a tax payment to a higher jurisdiction they always redistribute.
So no matter what changes you make you will be paying more in taxes for less services.
