>don't tax productivity
>tax only the gains of natural monopoly
Basically he said if you own exclusive rights to some part of nature, only those gains should be taxed. so no tax on income, sales, payroll, buildings, etc. anything left after funding govt goes to ubi. Alaska already does this partially with their permanent fund. oil companies extract oil, keep the value they add through extraction, but the natural value of the oil itself funds everyone's dividend. same logic applies to land/location monopoly. you want exclusive use of prime real estate? pay society for hoarding that location. would make housing actually affordable since boomers couldn't just sit on the best spots waiting for number go up. they'd have to downsize (or pay up), letting new families live near work, schools, parks etc instead of 2 hour commutes.
Marx and George went at it back in the day. George called marx "prince of muddleheads" and marx called george a last ditch attempt to save capitalism. funny thing is Marx died basically unknown while george was filling stadiums. history flipped their fame but every marxist experiment has faceplanted while George's theories keep getting proven out.
with ai gutting jobs, blackrock buying everything, and zoomers priced out forever, george is looking more and more like an economic prophet.
anyone actually looked into this? even if you don't rent you're still paying landlords through every business that passes costs to you. seems like this addresses the actual problem instead of larping about socialism vs capitalism while rent seekers laugh at us all

land-value taxes
>>60578648
dang, thought it was a lot higher than. still, 12% is a fat chunk of the pie, and considering how crazy the debt already is, penny-pinching only makes sense.

if anything, the military is one of the few things we should be spending more on. Social Security on the other hand is a scam and should be cut out immediately.
