What happens when you can't pay your property taxes? The government seizes your home, kicks you out at gunpoint, and sells it to the highest bidder.
It happens. It happens a lot. It doesn't get reported, since it's not news when the government steals things. But it happened to my elderly parents.
Is providing libraries to everyone worth taking away people's houses?

fair enough. i would also add that homes without children, or children out of school shouldnt be forced to continue funding the school district through property taxes.
to use a cliche, thats how they get you. your house could be paid off, your property could be paid off but god forbid something happens and you cant pay the property tax, you lose everything. state houses should have been stormed like the bastille when that was signed off on.
