Well, I don't want to go down the property tax road (you are correct in your statement that you can't truly own land) but it all comes back to the point that you don't see yourself as a part of the United States, but a man unto himself. To complain that 'the government' is stealing your money is to miss the point that the government is all of us. It is by the people and for the people. 'They' are not taking your money.
It is like working for an employee-owned company. The one objection you could make to that is you're not free to not work for the company, but you are: move to another company. There is no way to not work for some organization on this Earth, but that is the only downside. You must be a part of something larger than yourself.
Apologies for referring to you as male if you're not.
