I invite you to make that sale to the American voter.
My point is that Americans who own one or more plots of land definitely do NOT believe they are renting that land from the government. Ownership is, of course, a degree of control and everything is a matter of degree. Meaningful LVT would be a qualitative change in a home- or farm- or business-owner’s degree of control over what they heretofore considered their property, and they’d recognize that.
- patrick451 4y agoTo be clear, my position is that property taxes should not exist at all. An LVT would be doubling down on an already immoral tax. Whether it's pennies or 50% of the land's value, that still makes it the King's land, which I find abhorrent.
