At least with property tax I can see their being justification for various infrastructure costs....but as we've seen from most administrations, they hardly ever spend the money for such needs.
it's a tool they have proven utterly unqualified to wield.
Buddy of mine asked our local government (now seeking a third half percent property tax increase in 5 years) "where is the money going?"
Spoiler alert: they didn't like that question. Or answer it.
It's basically a wealth or head tax. It's just not for the most part progressive, and we don't talk about it.
