That money would NOT reappear in your pocket.
I agree with this generally, although most people where I live pay $100-$200 in property taxes to support the library (4% of property taxes go to the library).

But I doubt that there is anyone who can pay 96% of their property taxes, but just can't come up with the last 4%.
