Have you thought about all the outcomes that will be caused by this policy? Because one obvious one is old people and poor families being kicked out of homes because they can't afford the tax. I guess we can just increase taxes even further to pay for their safety net which will result in them living in nice beautiful public housing.
- hwillis 10y agoThis isn't a drafted policy proposal. Tax laws are a little more refined than "tax houses". The tax would obviously be progressive and targeted at cities, to avoid affecting the poor, retired or rural. You're arguing against a strawman of a concept I'm not even a real fan of. There's no need to attack via the fallout of flawed implementations. If you disagree with the fundamental concept that's valid, but it needs to be disproven on a fundamental basis.
