Since a common justification is to finance public schools, I suppose that complete privatization of education would be a necessary step in order to vastly reduce or generally abolish property taxes.
Property tax
Gas tax
Sales tax

Schools suck
Roads suck
Law enforcement sucks
Pollution sucks

But shiny new government buildings
All cops have new cars
Gas prices are out of control
The recycling fund was looted
Social security was looted
Trump just announced today to the NRA that he just gave a shit-ton of military weaponry to the police “you cant buy this stuff” he said.
Corporations pay no taxes
Flint has no water
This country is a joke.
Wait until big agra (monsanto) and inefficient governments take over legal marijuana.
Legal marijuana is a scam from a tax perspective.
Look at the lotto - that was supposed to pay for schools.
Look at “paid cable television” - that was supposed to eliminate commercials for a paid service.
Have you timed how many minutes a commercial break is on CNN?
Its all a joke.
EDIT:
And the thing that pisses me off, is they want to push all the costs down to the consumers. Are ANY of the water bottle companies held accountable for the mass plastic pollution in every thread of our environment? Obviously plastic isnt going anywhere - but the oil companies and chemical companies that produce all these materials and products pay nothing.
Look at this douchebag in the EPA right now. Are you following any of his antics? He had his lackeys being pay $40,000 PER MONTH just by Morrocco alone for lobbying access.
He had his "security" guy spending $100,000 on first class flights. He stole $65,000 from his campaign fund saying that he was reimbursing himself.
And then you have morons apologizing for them and defending these clowns.
> Property tax > Schools suck > Roads suck
I have no argument there.
> Sales tax
Have these been rising recently?
> Gas tax > Gas peices [prices] are out of control
Gas prices and whatever embedded taxes they have aren't that bad. They're much better than their peak around 2008 at over $4/gal.
> The recycling fund was looted
I'm not familiar with this.
> Social security was looted
Do you have a citation for that?
> Trump just announced today to the NRA that he just gave a shit-ton of military weaponry to the police “you cant buy this stuff” he said.
President Trump says a lot of things. Is there proof this actually happened?
> Corporations pay no taxes
You can argue whether they pay enough taxes, but I'd like a citation that they pay no taxes.
> Flint has no water
That's the city's own damn fault due to corruption.
> Legal marijuana is a scam from a tax perspective.
Personally, I'd rather we tax it heavily like cigarettes than to waste money incarcerating those drug users.
> Have you timed how many minutes a commercial break is on CNN?
They could use some more breaks.

Also, that refund is something that happened only in 2017; they paid over $1B in federal taxes in 2016, for example.
Other localities in other states are worse than that.
