In theory if you own land which isn't taxed you can potentially be truly self sustaining and not need anything from outside your plot of land and nobody can ask or demand anything from you. True independence.

Once property tax is introduced no matter the land you own, you someway have to either sell a product you make for profit or work for someone for a wage. By the indirect threat of force if you don't do so.

You now have just been sneekily forced into the system.
