why do our tax dollars subsidize private schools?

I'm not the OP, but I don't think that the OP is saying that rich people shouldn't send their children to private school. The OP is saying that private schools should not be exempt from paying property taxes.

Businesses only pay taxes on profits not cost of sales.

Businesses actually also pay taxes on sales. They're called sales taxes.

No consumers pay 'sales' taxes not businesses. Businesses collect taxes from the consumer and remit to the state. If you are buying a widget for resale, you are exempted from taxes on the item and the taxes are passed on the end customer.

What? No fair! I already paid taxes on that money! Sales taxes are punitive! Why are people trying to punish me for buying things?!
