Property taxes aren't federal, they're local. They're assessed at the county/township/city level. If you're complaining about shitty education, lower property taxes won't help that. They do fund local transit and and rail projects. They don't fund the military, because again, property taxes are local. They do fund the police, that's like the only thing you got right.
