You don’t?
LVT supplanting all other tax would absolutely mean it’d be ruinous to use land in ways contrary to the wishes of the government body socially-engineering land-use policy.
- TimPC 4y agoI think there is a substantial difference between handing money back to all civilians to compensate their rights and spending the money on specific government programs that only benefit a subset of the population.
- imtringued 4y agoA citizen's dividend for land is just the democratisation of land as now every human has an equal right to a given plot of land. If they want a bigger or more valuable plot they will have to work for it. As it stands right now land ownership is just used to pass down dynastic wealth and reap economic rents (profit at the expense of someone else as opposed to earning it through work).
