There are a lot of people who don't pay properly tax and get all of those services, for example, people who rent.

You still pay income tax and sales tax.

Renters pay the owner’s property tax.

Ok, so then the owner isn't paying property tax.

In reality, the renter is not actually paying the property tax. They may be paying for it, but they are not the one paying the bill at the end of the year.

Edit: classic lemmy. The renter may be giving money to the landlord which covers the cost of the tax, however that is irrelevant. a renter by definition, does not own the property and therefore does not pay property taxes and yet, still is able to utilize public infrastructure. Just like how a person who doesn't have income is still able to use public infrastructure. Your ability to pay into the system does not preclude you from participating.
