You say that property tax revenue pays for local roads, public schools and libraries, and public services such as EMS, the police, and fire departments. Okay. Then explain: 1⃣ Why does not paying the tax cost you your house instead of costing you access to public roads and the aforementioned services? 2⃣ If everybody in a community uses the same roads and public services, why does a guy with 500 acres of land and a 5,000 ft² house pay more than a guy living in a 1,500 ft² house on a 0.4-acre plot? 3⃣ Why do we have a gas tax for the roads? 4⃣ Why do you get hit with a several hundred dollar bill to be hauled to the hospital in an ambulance?
