Not really. I offer a service just like any other service based business. Taxes are a line item cost that are passed on the consumer of that service. In my case that service is providing a space for people to live, or conduct business. Like any business, the consumer of the product or service pays all operating cost of that business. I'm having trouble understanding your point. Seems simplistic to me that taxes aren't any different than other operating cost, i.e. insurance.And neither does the business. Thus is your paradox. If you as the owner (business) are paying the taxes vice your renter, then so is the business (Walmart for example) paying taxes. When Walmart's costs go up.. they pass them on just like you said. Patrons of Walmart don't 'own' that business either.... they are the same as your renter.
I get what you are saying, but you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
