I don't like property taxes because homeowners and landowners carry the whole burden for the services. And your taxes go up when property values go up, but then never go down when property values go down.
Rooskers, my problem with your argument is you are benefiting from services whether you realize it or not. Just because the police haven't come to your place doesn't mean you don't benefit from their protection. What about things like road repairs, snow shoveling, etc? If everyone opts out, who's going to do it? And even though you don't live in a city, you benefit from military protection -- that was a ridiculous argument.
