I'd argue that property taxes exist because we still live in a system resembling the feudal system we evolved from, and governments believe it is their right to tax our property to pay for their projects.

Who--other than "governments"--decided that its "your" property and that you somehow deserve monopoly rights to a piece of the planet that you didn't create?

So... is owning piece of a productive company "fake wealth"? Is it fake when you can leverage that valuation to have access to more credit and use that to buy real stuff (like property...)?
Why should you dilute your ownership share just because of some arbitrary number?
