Workers are overtaxed and 'double-billed': they pay tax on income, which funds public goods that raise their rent. The late economist Fred Foldvary said this is a major cause of income inequality and why we should tax land instead of wages.

Adam Smith, the godfather of capitalism, strongly believed that we should tax land, not workers. Why tax what people have earned? We should tax what people have not earned. That would encourage more housing and make our economy work better.

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.

"UBI seems to be effective...I don't need it to be perfect, I just need people not to starve." - George Stroumboulopoulos

Our biggest challenges in housing, poverty, and productivity stem from our relationship to land. No policy will make homes affordable or end poverty without making land a worse long-term investment.

"My paycheck goes straight to rent -- there's nothing left." How many Canadians see 50-100% of their income get sucked up by land rents and income taxes? We should untax work, and shift taxes to the rental value of land.

UBC's Patrick Condon has 3 solutions to the housing crisis, and it's all about land. 1. Stop using tax dollars to boost demand even more. 2. Capture land value to benefit the public, not speculators. 3. Use that value to build affordable housing.

Our current tax system punishes development and work. Land value tax is the only tax that doesn't do that.

Toronto real estate broker John Pasalis talks about land value tax, an old idea with renewed interest to improve the housing system.

"We should have a shift from taxing earned incomes to taxing wealth and ecological invasions of our commons, and thereby build up a Commons Fund from which we could pay a basic income." - Guy Standing

I don't care what you think about BE or Hasan, so don't bother telling me. The larger point BE is making here is the problem with liberal Zionism, however: it can condemn Netanyahu, say the right things about Gaza, and still fail to treat the Israeli war industry as fundamentally disqualifying.
