Idea:
#tax land and only land

Never heard about #georgism before, though I've heard similar ideas I liked.

pay tax on empty flats

sell land only for limited time (hongkong)

make state income by having people rent fixed non-consumable limited resources from the state

continuously pay when public resources (e.g. land) are allocated to you (not sure where i picked this up, guess it's pretty much the same as georgism)

Georgism (otherwise known as geoism) is an economic philosophy holding that the economic value derived from land, including natural resources and natural opportunities, should belong equally to all residents of a community, but that people own the value that they create themselves.

Most Georgists support:

• A broad-based land value taxation scheme, either to mostly or entirely replace existing harmful taxes on income, consumption, and corporations.
• The social redistribution of this revenue either directly, through a Citizens' Dividend, or indirectly, through government programs, to citizens.
• Some (but not all) forms of market intervention by the state.
• The abolition of tariffs, quotas, patents, and other barriers to trade and commerce.

The Georgist paradigm crosses the left-right political divide. This means that there are statist, anarchist, progressive, and conservative Georgists.

Aim

The aim of this magazine is to:

• Educate people about the problems we face and what we can do to fix them.
• Discuss potential measures, goals, and methods that could make our economies fairer, and the specifics of implementations of remedies to problems.
• Organise meaningful political movements with the aim of enacting peaceful change.

Council Tax is one of the UK's most regressive taxes, but there's good news from #Wales. The devolved government in Wales is planning to reform Council Tax, and has ambitions to eventually replace it with a Land Value Tax. This sounds excellent, and all progressive parties in other parts of the UK should be adopting similar...
