like what how do u get from limited land to tax

2019-08-26 03:53:22 UTC  

he just doesnt explain

2019-08-26 03:53:24 UTC  

automod dyno

2019-08-26 03:53:30 UTC  

i think thats the entire philosophy in 1 sentence

2019-08-26 03:55:09 UTC  

Georgism is just that if that they can't pay the 100% land value tax then they cant manage the land adequately to make surplus profit

2019-08-26 03:55:32 UTC  

which is true by the very nature of land use

2019-08-26 03:55:35 UTC  

and the tax is entirely arbitrary

2019-08-26 03:55:45 UTC  

what do you mean?

2019-08-26 03:55:52 UTC  

so basically just socialism except with a dab on "libertarianism"

2019-08-26 03:56:13 UTC  

the state can just decide u arent using the land to its fullest extent

2019-08-26 03:56:17 UTC  

and so ur gone

2019-08-26 03:57:13 UTC  

no, it defines land use value, which we already basically do and then taxes it a 100%

2019-08-26 03:57:18 UTC  
2019-08-26 03:57:29 UTC  

with or without a property tax

2019-08-26 03:57:51 UTC  

land use value is determined by who

2019-08-26 03:57:57 UTC  

usually without property tax in standard Georgism

2019-08-26 03:58:00 UTC  

market value

2019-08-26 03:58:12 UTC  

wat

2019-08-26 03:58:16 UTC  

?

2019-08-26 03:58:29 UTC  

how can a tax be determined by the market

2019-08-26 03:59:52 UTC  

the tax just shadows market value of land

2019-08-26 04:00:32 UTC  

so when u buy property u have to pay the same amount to the govt?

2019-08-26 04:00:49 UTC  

not property but just the land

2019-08-26 04:01:19 UTC  

so in other words, the value of the space and its attached utilities

2019-08-26 04:01:42 UTC  

not the buildings built on it, the crops grown on it or the cattle raised on it

2019-08-26 04:01:49 UTC  

what if im sold land for $0

2019-08-26 04:01:58 UTC  

so the land as if it were vacant

2019-08-26 04:02:00 UTC  

does the state get mad cos i evaded their tax and then gulag

2019-08-26 04:02:19 UTC  

just because you are sold the land at zero doesnt mean the land value is zero

2019-08-26 04:02:27 UTC  

or do i have to sell to the highest bidder in society or some other cringe socialism idea

2019-08-26 04:02:34 UTC  

you can always estimate land value by looking at adjacent land

2019-08-26 04:02:47 UTC  

state enforced free markets
