Should property taxes be abolished?

At the local government level, I like property taxes, but it should be directly tied into services at the property. For the fire department and to a lesser extent the police department, the guy with a $200,000 home has a bigger interest than the guy with the $100,000 home in having those services. On the other hand, as it relates to schools, a persons interest is tied more to the number of kids in those schools than the value of his property.
