Why government should always have more power than private business.

[VoluntaryAmerican]

What about folks who are extremely skilled and talented but have near zero ability to sell themselves or type up resumes or conduct powerful interviews?

Perhaps the system is biased?

The Free Market is not a "System", it is the natural state of man.

Hire someone to write your resume.

Hire someone to train you in interviewing skills: read a book on interviewing process, communication skills.

Government is just a corporation that has a monopoly on force. So if you think corporations are bad, think about giving a corporation the monopoly on force, and then you have government

Land is given by nature NOT by man. Land is NOT commonly created. Land and its resources are Commonwealth. Simple. Make a washing machine (CAPITAL made by man) and man owns it. Land ownership is "title", a set of rights. You do not actually "own" the land. You need title of keep others off the land while you use it. The values in the land are created by community economic actity, not the landower. That is economic fact. That is how the land values came about, they never came from the sky. Your house does not improve in value. The house (CAPITAL) is the wood and bricks and depreciates over time. The land appreciates.

You need to learn more about basic economics.

You never did explain why towns that have plenty of infrastructure and people, but no businesses left have low land values.

Shouldn't Ghost Towns generate tonnes of Land Tax Revenue if infrastructure and community creates wealth?

 

[MelissaWV]

You are obviously well practiced in head in the sand burying. How does it feel?

That's so strange the way two different posters answer me interchangably with almost the same style and such.

It couldn't be multiple accounts. That would be against forum guidelines.

Or get/create a job that requires neither a resume nor an interview.

That sounds real nice in happy hippie eco land but in the real world land can be bought and sold just like any other form of property.

 

[AFPVet]

The problem here is when big business buys out the government. Sound familiar? Regulations can be created to favor the big capital in order to suppress the little guy.

 

[soulcyon]

The whole premise of the OP is based on a so-called fact that "unemployment is high" and its "tough to find a job" thus you're indirectly FORCED to work under said Boss.

OP is on da good shit.

Unfortunately, most jobs go to the people who can bs people the best, not necessarily the best people (Obama). Most employers want to be told what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. It takes lots of practice to learn how to kiss ass if you want to. Even then you are not going to be as good at it as the people who are natural at it.

Infrastructure does not create wealth. It is a mechanism to aid wealth creation. An underground metro in a city is essential for wealth creation to get people around and to work fast and easy. They do not make profits on tickets sales but are profitable to the community as they assist in wealth generation. Close down the NY Subway and the city would economically decline.

Towns which have no businesses tend not to have people. Mining towns are the obvious. When the ore runs out, there is nothing left and the people move - unless the town has developed other forms of industry. But mining towns tend to be in the wrong place for commercial general trade. Large coal mining towns tended to survive as industry was attracted to the tows because of the available energy. When the coal is exhausted they just convert to oil and stay put.

The e.g., of Johannesburg is good as here is an ex mining town that has no right to be what it is as it is not a port, on a river, in fertile land, etc. LVT made the city strong and survive the diamond mines closing, making the city a Southern African financial centre.

Low land values come about because the land is not in demand by the community because the land gives little economic advantage - there may be no jobs around. Get it?

Again. Land is given by nature NOT by man. Always remember that. Land is bought and sold and should be. You do not need to be a hippy to know that. There is nothing you can buy that acts and reacts in a market like land. It is inelastic. Of finite supply. We need LAND and its RESOUCES to survive

We have world wide crashes because LAND is treated like a washing machine. If we are short of washing machines we can make more. If we are short of land that gives economic gain we cannot make more.

You can take cheap LABOR from Alabama to NY
You can take cheap CAPITAL (washing machines) from Alabama to NY
You cannot take cheap LAND from Alabama to NY

Neo-classical economics moved LAND into CAPITAL and since then the economic system has gone wild. We need to revert to classical economics.

Land is unique and special being completly different from movable objects like machinery, equipment and raw materials. If the price of cement rises in one location than another the cheaper cement will move to the location where the prices are higher equalising the price of cement (making cement cheaper) - moveable goods and service equalize the price (value).

Every public transportation system I have every used has been self-supporting. Why wouldn't it be? It would have to be extremely poorly managed...

Low land values come about when there is low business demand for the land. Johannesburg was suitable for business without specific geographic requirements. Despite you insistence, not every business needs a geographical resource to survive.

Two towns, 100km apart. One has LVT at 80% the other has LVT at 5%. Neither town has any other taxes. Which town do you set up a business in?

Land is just a huge hunk of raw materials. Your view is about three thousand years out of date. Any amount of land can be moved anywhere. You clearly don't believe in other planets, in land reclamation, in open pit mining, or that Holland exists...

We actually have the ability to create matter now. We can't generate the energy yet to do that yet. Earth is not even the largest planet in this system. There are countless other planets we are aware of. There are billions of tonnes of asteroids in reach.

'Unique' and 'finite' and 'productive' have definitions quite different from the way you use them.

Land being made. Homes and businesses will be on this brand new land.

Incorrect. The original was also. Version 1883 is more obviously tyrannical, though.
