I have generally found it to be true that only those who don’t pay property taxes..that is, those who don’t own property by virtue of paying for it and/or have inherited property..are usually the ones who clamour to increase property taxes as a punitive measure.

The only justifiable tax is a tax on consumption and perhaps a tax on children because population increases exponentially. That would take care of all the bundle of taxes and simplify the tax code.
