I do not dispute that there must be taxes to support necessary functions of government, but we are taxed *WAY* beyond necessary functions of government.
God only asks 10%. Government should not ask for more than that.
And it shouldn't be a tax on property. It should only be taxes on income.
If a person chooses to grow their own food and live like a hermit without need for cash, then they should be allowed to do so without being evicted from their land.
Most will choose to be part of the community both socially and economically, but the land should remain the property of the owner until it is sold or passed to someone else.

I too am against property taxes, which thus require a person to be involved in acquisition of money.
However, I think that income taxes are wrong too. They are taxing people for doing something good, and those who do not work, or work under the table, are not “penalized.”
This is why I am for the Fair Tax, which is a federal sales tax that gives each person a “prebate” (advance refund) for the amount of taxes on what are considered necessities, and charges a 30% sales tax: note that they have figured out that initial prices will go down by eliminating the need for tax accountants and lawyers as a part of the sellers’ costs.
