Greece's former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis says publicly created wealth is being privatized at scale, which could be paying us dividends instead. "We are producing capital collectively but only Google gets the profits."

Many people wonder why land value tax won't just raise rents. Answer: you can't create or destroy land. That's why economists consider it the 'least bad' (even 'perfect') tax. It could lower income or property taxes and encourage more housing supply.

Noone's talking about what we actually need, which is for prices to come down. The desire to get wealthy off land values is incompatible with the need for affordable homes. Again, no politicians are even acknowledging this.

"Land value tax makes housing affordable overnight. It pushes landowners to either sell or develop, and it starts to cost to deprive the community of the housing it needs." - @opportunityparty.info

Jeff Bezos: "The bottom half workers pay 3% of all taxes – it should be zero" There is a much better option than taxing working people. If the goal is fairness, start with land. It benefits from society's productivity without contributing back.

"We have enough flippin' tax" Yes, on things that make society better and more productive, like work and building homes. We should shift those taxes to land value instead.

"Those who are taking from the commons, who are making profits from our commons, should compensate the commoners. And those who are polluting the commons, diminishing our commons, should be compensating those who are suffering as a consequence." — Guy Standing

BC land value "increased by over $1 trillion over a decade. It tripled." — Paul Finch, President of BC General Employees' Union This is the largest transfer of public to private wealth happening before our eyes.

By taxing land instead of buildings, owners in both scenarios pay the same amount. This encourages more efficient land use and discourages holding just for appreciation—making our housing system work better.

"Land. That's where the money is." It's time to stop taxing income from work more than land.

The UK's response: "Let me express our condolences for the brave Red Crescent colleagues who've been tragically killed" Tragically killed? No, murdered in cold blood by Israel, a regime you've been supporting & arming.
