  1. A few words of warning from #Australia about the #CapitalGainsTax that #Biden is proposing.

    It may be okay in itself, but no matter how the #tax is applied, if you give them a chance to offset their gains with loses, you still end up with the biggest, most #wellConnected #kleptocrats finding mates to lose money too, to circumvent paying tax.

    It really does become a game, a racket, to these players.

    A #ProgressiveLandTax on #RentalValue is fairest.

    #FractionalReserveBanking is a scam hidden with #complexityTheatre.

    The #HenryGeorge model of #LandTax based on improvedValue (aka #rentalValue). You would make it progressive, starting at 15% of rentalValue to 50% for the extremelyWealthy.

    For grandma a #UBI (from landTax that goes up a bit with age will help (1.6 units of UBI) For one child, half a U approx. Two, 3/4 U. No extra support for 3rd/4th children.

    At adulthood 1U increasing with age.

    #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.

  4. Is it possible to radically simplify #tax and #socialSecurity by removing all #profitLoss garbage, so manipulated by the #powerElite, to instead focus all taxes on #landTax (based on #rentalValue/#salePrice) and #GST (on #manufactured/#nonEssential items, see #Australia)?

    A #btcFuture will be different. It could be more #equitable

    …but only if we demand it.

    LandTax could start at 15% of the rental value and increase based on the amount of #landValue owned by the person, to 50%.

    Thoughts?

    That's about the size of the #militaryBudget per year when you factor in all the underground elements.

    The #securityState apparently "lost" abour 20 trillion between 2000 and 2015.

    The #centralBank just printed trillions as a #bailout for #covid19. Half a trillion apparently going directly to the #billionaireClass.

    If we know the #UBI is a dividend of the nations yearly income we won't take it for granted. Minimise #taxAvoidance with #landTax based on #rentalValue.

    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.
