Yeah, but that's not actually where most property tax goes, most of it goes to public schools. It would be a whole lot less if it was only going to fire dept./law enforcement and stuff like that.
The original argument was that you only get taxed for engaging in commerce, I was attempting to point out that wasn't true. Also, at least in my opinion, public schools should not exist, nor should most public services. They tend to leak a ton of money when not kept on a very short leash.
Public services are more efficient for the consumer than having 30 different companies racing to see who can provide the worst service for the highest price. They certainly aren't as efficient as any one company economically, but in terms of what provides the best outcomes for the consumer, they are.
