Gives a basic idea of the benefits Land Value Taxation compared to other forms of taxes. I appose income taxation and more so a national sales tax or consumption tax or fair tax whatever new name they call it. A national sales tax would destroy the economy.

Non sense a consumption tax is less moral. Goods and services require human effort to make land and natural resources don't.

Q: How would a national sales tax destroy the economy?

By the way, I do agree that LVT might be the worst taxation economically, however I view it as ethically wrong and a dangerous power for the government to have.

Has someone started a rumor on the internets claiming that spamming political forums with really unintelligent LVT threads will change people's minds? If so, I assure you that is not true.

A national sales tax would destroy people's purchasing power and thus lower their standard of living. The taxes are always in the range of 15% combine that with existing sales taxes you would have very expensive to purchase products.

On one hand, property is being taxed for the sake of ownership while on the other, it is being taxed for changing hands.

You are correct that taxing trade taxes (some) human effort. But a tax on land is a tax on human existence. Everyone would be forced to pay a land tax, even a subsistence farmer.

What is mine is mine, no one has any right to what is mine. You do not have a right to my land, my income, or my transactions. Fuck all of you taxers, go steal someone else's money.

As an old man who grew up as a dirt farmer Prof , I tend to agree, but, first ones that should be hung are those that tax my land.

Any tax is immoral. Stop trying to steal the work of others.

If you want to fund certain gov. programs, start a fuckin' charity.
