It made sense to our Founders... but would never pass in this quasi communist state that we live in today.

I think the way to address this issue is the other way round. Little besides real property existed long enough to tax at the time of the Founders. I think it would be better to drop the notion of property tax altogether and tax on earnings and sales only.
