You're not being charged for just being, you are being charged for owning property. People without property pay no property taxes and they're still "being". Property taxes pay for the services that make owning said property worthwhile, such as infrastructure. If you don't want to pay property taxes, don't own property.
I agree but renting is not an escape from paying property taxes..it just isn't as obvious.
