This is my own personal opinion and it won't be backed up by any cites or numbers, hahahha. But I feel that property taxes are the most justified tax in the United States. You own a piece of the United States, you pay a tax based on that property's value for protection provided by the US as well as the police department, fire department, public roads, etc...
However this tax would be considerably less if tax dollars weren't spent on a variety of different crap that the government truly doesn't have the authority to do.
So I guess in the end it's hard for me to separate my own personal ideals of property tax from the current application of the taxes since there's so much noise in between (if that makes sense) :P
As you stated, "after all there are always competing polices, distortions and influences in any actual economy."
