I do not support Wealth taxes. I would heartily support a land value tax. Though popularised by George it was first rigourously analysed by Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations.

They do not protect our incomes, or our assets but by and large most societies do agree that it is a matter of fact that can be arbitrated in a dispute as to who owns which piece of land.
