The Henry George Program (podcast) just released an episode on the progress of rail electrification in the USA. TLDR: almost no progress.
Still a good episode to listen to.

Personal property is justifiable when you acquire it through your own hard work. Private property in land can never be justifiable since land is not a resource that can be created. Landowners don’t have to add anything to society to appropriate obscene amounts of wealth; they simply need to hold a monopoly over what should otherwise belong equally to all members of society. Landed/intellectual property is then, by its very nature, theft. When you claim the exclusive rights to natural opportunities such as land or ideas, what you are essentially doing is robbing others of their own natural rights to use that place/idea.
This is (part of) what many anti-capitalists mean by “property is theft.” We aren’t talking about property in the personal sense (i.e. your stuff), we’re talking about realty and IP.
(Of course, there is also an argument to be made that “property is theft” is also used to refer to private property in capital—the ‘theft’ bit referring more to the appropriation of surplus value as profit by the bourgeoisie—but I digress.)

Great to see such discussion appear on Fedi that's not initiated by us.
In the past we've extolled extensively a two-pronged approach. Yes #salesTax (#GST) is about #consumption. Reinstate the pre-GST #LuxuryGoodsTax. Initiatives like #GNUTaler limit online surveillance despite online payment. More about that on request.
Removing #incomeTax and reverting to #LandTax that increases the more land one owns is imperative (known as #Georgism).

I think its a good summary and nice introduction to #LandValueTax.

Some economists and housing advocates say there is a common factor behind all this vacant land: a property tax system that combines low taxes on land with high taxes on buildings
“There’s no incentive to do anything except to sit on it”

#Georgism is the philosophy that the value of land should be shared.

Our definition of redpilling is likely going to be slightly different to yours.
Ie. #PeakOil and resisting #overpopulation, overdevelopment and overshoot.
- Stop producing #refugees via endless wars.
- Move away from the #legacyWeb toward internet anonymisation
- ethical, hard-money #bitcoin/monero,
- stop #politicalDonations and political mass media #advertising,
- progressive #LandTax without Income Tax (ie. #Georgism),
- Trust bust #CAGEFAM and their tyranny.

And #moneyPrinting is causing #bitcoin to rise,
Then maybe we need to stop the #moneyPrinter to save the environment? Or maybe bitcoin is using the #energy that it needs to secure the base layer, the foundation of a #newEconomy that respects #LimitsToGrowth.

*Silently supports a #ProgressiveLandTax based on #rentalValue of the #land, because the extremely wealthy and well-connected game #profitLoss-based #taxation so they never pay taxes.*
Also #incomeTax doesn't much sense, when compared to #consumption and #landTax'es
And some people just own too much land and engage in #rentseeking that drains the real #economy.

#LandTax reform now. Tax 15%-50% of the #rentalValue of the land depending on how much they own. If a person owns too much #RentalValue, including in #trusts they have two years to sell #land until they are below the threshold, or face #prison time.
Watch how this solves a lot of #inequality issues.

If you disapprove of extortionate #landlords, have you had a chance to read about #LandTax based on #RentalValue?
Otherwise known as #Georgism or #Geoism, it was popularised a century ago by the #HenryGeorge, who wrote a very compelling book titled, #ProgressAndPoverty.
In today's world houses are not treated as #shelter, but instruments for #speculation and #taxOffsets, creating a ponzi or #pyramidScheme largely centered on #populationGrowth to constantly boost #propertyPrices.

#Investors would enjoy the #speculativeGains (aka #capitalGains) in the #property they own, this using the #house or #apartment as an #atm machine , a #financialInstrument, rather than a #home.
A #landTax based on the #rentalValue of #land will help to remove this #perverseIncentive.
Say no to #homelessness and #environmental harm - its time for a #HenryGeorge Land Tax now!

We wish you safe operations as you occupy.
Is your intention to break down the #cronyCapitalist, #rentseeking and #labourExploitation culture in the #UK(?)?
Have you heard of #geoism (or #georgism)?

The #extremelyWealthy #onePercenters love that we are distracted from #HenryGeorge-style #taxation. Until its adopted the #elite will continue to continue with #taxEvasion via #financialEngineering. Its too easy to claim losses to #shellCorporations and mates.
See also #Georgism, or 18th century book, #ProgressAndPoverty.
Quick question: Does NZ non-organic #bread and other confections also have #soyFlour (as they do in #Australia)?
