>I think all citizens deserve “property” protection from law enforcement, regardless of real estate ownership status. “Property” defined more broadly to include goods and body.
I think everyone deserves protection too, but I think the same thing about food. Just because someone deserves something doesn't mean they're entitled to demand that others provide that good free of charge. If you think some people are required to protect other people free of charge, you are a Communist.
>We started with property tax, which is only levied against real estate owners. I’m simply making the case that property taxes are an unfair form of taxation, especially because of how the funds are redistributed.
Sure, if funds were only put towards protection of property, that would be a much better situation. Of course, property owners may decide that providing other free services to residents helps protect property in the long run by limiting unrest.

Same to you! :)
