The internet’s favourite tax could be soon be coming to capital. thespinoff.co.nz/wellington/15-…

The capitalist vs. worker dichotomy is false. It's really about publicly created wealth (land value) which we're over-privatizing, and privately created wealth (work incomes) which we're over-socializing.

Land tax is the single most just tax that exists. No one was involved in making that plot of land, no one has the right to own it without paying back to the community

All the classical economists including Adam Smith, the godfather of capitalism, saw land as a distinct factor of production. Many believed we should tax land, not work. It's time to make this mainstream again. It would make our economy more productive and fair.

Our deepest challenges — inequality, poverty, housing — stem from the fact that we're still rivalling over common resources like land and the value of nature. Today, Alaska's oil dividend is a model of sharing common wealth that Canada and the provinces should follow.

This is the absolute worst take. Land is just about the only thing that nobody produces, and of which the over-consumption creates the most negative externalities. We should replace almost all income taxes with a Land Value Tax.

The property tax reform we need to build a healthier housing market. More and more cities and policymakers are beginning to understand this.

In Greater Greater Washington Matt Girardi argues for a land value tax to fund transit. He cites ATU Local 689's report: 3% of land in greater Washington is within a half mile of transit stations, but these areas represent 27% of the region's assessed land value. ggwash.org/view/98548/its…

Thinking of writing a book *Scarcity* on market-based pricing to manage demand: •congestion pricing •land value tax •carbon tax •real time electricity pricing •California almond farmers pay for water • no free parking •volume based garbage fees •fishery quotas

Imagine if our tax system didn't take from work, but rewarded it. We could do that by eliminating income, property, and transfer taxes with land value tax, while improving the housing market. BC's land assessment was designed to do just this. Here's how it could work. 1/🧵

People deserve to own what they make. Human ownership of land is harder to justify. When all land is owned, it becomes slavery. #HenryGeorge #Georgism #RicardosLawOfRent

On the eve of Tax Day, Democratic state legislators introduced a bill that would shift property taxes to a land value tax. Sponsors say transforming the current system would blunt the effects of the housing crisis statewide. news10.com/news/ny-news/l…

Land value tax is closer to becoming law in NY and MD. Taxing the land encourages efficient use of land, which helps the economy, the environment, and housing affordability.
