No need for that. If the only taxes were on real estate, that would free up a vast amount of capital that the elderly are currently paying in taxes on their IRA withdrawals. Even if their current property taxes were tripled, they'd likely end up with a net gain (or at least no net loss) due to the eliminated income taxes.
