Instead of property tax, how about a "head tax"? Anyone 18 years or older would pay a set rate levied by the state or county. Tax would be paid yearly up until the age of 70. What would be fairer than everyone paying the same amount? And don't say "what if they can't afford it due to less income" ....because if a head tax replaces property taxes, then rental expenses should drop (theoretically). Both homeowners and renters would benefit.
