Because then the government doesn't own your land and can't take it from you when you don't pay them off. Property "tax" is their way of forcing you into agreeing that they own your land and they sell it as giving you better schools in the area or some crap. And if people feel they REALLY own something and it can't be taken away from them then they will fight for it. We can't have people fighting for their land when the government comes to auction their house off to the highest bidder.
We have been moving more and more toward a Capitalist Communism where the government owns everything and you are merely renting from them (this is just straight up how it is in China, they don't even pretend), but we still sell it as Capitalism because businesses aren't owned by the government.
This is not the way life should be and all property taxes (i.e. government owned property rentals) should be outlawed.
