A Georgist Income (UBI from Land Tax)
- theandrewbailey 7y agoI'm not sure how this would encourage land ownership, since the government pays people who don't own any. This proposal seems to encourage low rents and low land values, i.e. ghettos and slums.
- jermaustin1 7y agoI'm not an expert in Georgism (in fact I had never heard of it) nor in human behavior (though, I am a human), but depending on the tax rate, I would guess for most people, an acre of land free from tax would be a better offer than the income.
