Your property taxes don't go towards those things though. Maybe a bloated police force, but that’s still usually funded via earned income tax.

Your federal taxes could go towards local governments if we prioritized it. There’s a choice made, and that choice forces cities to adopt as many taxes as they can get away with in order to fund themselves.
