Property tax is a violation of people's fundamental natural right to own one's own housing,
a right which is respected by all animal species other than humans (e.g. birds do not pay
property tax on their nests; rodents and rabbits do not pay property tax on their burrows, etc.).
Furthermore, property tax serves to make people dependent upon employers for money to pay
said property tax, rather than being independent. I therefore support the abolition of property tax,
and replacing it with income tax and sales tax.
Abolishing property tax creates a problem as a side-effect, which must likewise be eliminated:
That problem is the potential for land-hogging, in which ultra-rich people can buy up more land,
crowd out other people, and unnaturally raise the cost of real estate. Therefore the abolition of
property tax must be accompanied by a limit to the amount of land that a single person can own.
