I found this on businessinsider.com, I find it very interesting:
"In the terminal collapse of the Roman Empire, there was perhaps no greater burden to the average citizen than the extreme taxes they were forced to pay.

The tax ‘reforms’ of Emperor Diocletian in the 3rd century were so rigid and unwavering that many people were driven to starvation and bankruptcy. The state went so far as to chase around widows and children to collect taxes owed.

By the 4th century, the Roman economy and tax structure were so dismal that many farmers abandoned their lands in order to receive public entitlements.

At this point, the imperial government was spending the majority of the funds it collected on either the military or public entitlements. For a time, according to historian Joseph Tainter, “those who lived off the treasury were more numerous than those paying into it.”"
This is happening today all over the world, taxes are reducing people to extreme poverty, and everyone pays taxes, if you eat you pay taxes on your food, so the excuse that people don't pay taxes may be valid but only for the very rich who find loopholes to not pay some taxes. This taxing is really validating your article about private property, it exists, but it is becoming more expensive therefore more difficult to keep.
