No, you're right, CAF is the exception, the rule is that poor people are too poor to own perpetual exclusive property rights so they have to pay the rich people

No, you're right, CAF is the exception, the rule is that poor people are too poor to own perpetual exclusive property rights so they have to pay the rich people who do own those rights whatever they can get away with asking.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoAnd your solution is CAF for all people and all assets? What are you trying to say? Do you think a legal system where the government can simply take anything it wants on a whim will end up better or worse for the poor and powerless?
- midasuni 3y agoA system where land can’t be owned by an individual but instead pay an annual rent based on the unimporoved value of that land, acknowledging they commons is owned evenly by every citizen
- s1artibartfast 3y agothis is a complete non-sequitur, But even in a gerogist land-value tax system doesnt solve the problem of government seizure. Somone can be paying the full rent unimproved value of their land, and the government might decide to void their lease and turn over all of their land, improvements, and work to someone else. The only thing that stops this is if governments respect the contracts they enter into, be they established property rights (in our system), or land lease contracts (in a Georgist system).
