I think some property rights are good, because it is nice to have a home and privacy and the ability to accumulate stuff for a rainy day, or to better yourself in the long term, etc. However, I would agree that the well being of humans is a more important factor; not, perhaps, to the absolute limit, but certainly to the point where if a modest infringement on property rights creates a very great increase in human welfare, it is a good policy.

I'm a statist, aren't I? :(

Well good news, property rights are predicated upon the existence of a state to recognize and enforce them. So the notion that Taxation is a violation of private property doesn't make sense even in principle.
