- gwildor 10y agoI'm generally against state surveillance, but how else would you properly tax?
- branchless 10y agoBy taxing land!!!!!
- frozenport 10y agoThis will make land ownership harder, which is a regressive measure and will further income inequality. Land and home-ownership represent significant steps towards generational wealth, because when you are paying off a mortgage you own the home while in the case of a lease you own nothing. Literally, this you are advocating economic policy from the Ancien Régime.

- aninhumer 10y agoIt also makes it hard for existing landowners to own land, so they're more inclined to sell it, lowering the prices for everyone. Also, even if you rent, your landlord is paying the tax, so they'll pass the cost on to you anyway.

- imglorp 10y agoThe surveillance appears to be only for vendors. Users (buyers) are anonymous.
