Speculators Flipping Our Freedom

[Iain1962]

I sure would like to know how an empty lot delivered 922 dollars a month revenue, that would be a bit miraculous.

@Iain1962 It delivered 922 dollars a month revenue, by everyone elses taxes improving the area around the house. ie schools shops public transport and infrastructure, thus raising the property's value

But then we wouldn't draw funny cartoons of business owners perplexed by figuring out their income taxes

They called me a socialist when I suggested the land value tax. Yes, I said, I am a land value socialist and then I asked them what kind of socialist they were. No socialists here they said but I begged to differ asking them what kind of taxes they preferred. Most said the income tax. Then I said, if you think the wages of labor are appropriately taxed, that makes you a wage confiscating socialist. Poor dears just about had a fit. They didn't know they had a secret inner socialist lurking.

@ourearthhome To which they'll reply "well, I'm against all taxation. Nobody should be taxed." And then you say, oh, so you don't want a government? Who's going to protect your private property?

and you go on like this for three hours and most of the time, they still never get it.
