It's another politicians tinkering aimlessly (and destructively) day!
It's so frustrating being a #Georgist #SingleTax advocate on a budget day. You just want to scream "stupid people" at all o them! #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #valueourplanet #makepovertyhistory

If we had the #singletax of #henrygeorge of 100% of #landrents and basically nothing else (except perhaps a few targeted pigouvian ones) you wouldn't have this farcical budget speculation. All this tinkering is destructive. Spend what you have or choose to borrow to invest and nothing else.

Interesting short write up from 1957 of the #Fairhope Alabama #SingleTax company, a successful long term #Georgist effort. The writers note that it is boring because it is so successful. https://cooperative-individualism.org/progress_review-of-paul-alyea-fairhope-the-story-of-a-single-tax-colony-1957-jul.pdf #equity #Georgism #Alabama

The #singletax of #henrygeorge will liberate us! Don't tax more, Rachel! Tax smarter, Keir! @libdems.org.uk
#abolishtaxes on production, work and trade entirely. #sharetherents of land, locations and monopolies.

Yet another "tax" policy "think tax" where it appears nobody has thought about the only proposed tax system that creates economic justice: the #singletax popularised by #henrygeorge
"Experts" eh? Informing government policies, eh? Useless as the people they serve: https://centax.org.uk/

@RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @LibDems @Conservatives None of them have the first clue how to "nurture economic growth" or it would have been done long before now, permanently. The #singletax of #HenryGeorge lays the ground work, literally. Everything else follows!

How is it that giving away free money in the form of a "Basic Income" has become such a cause celebre whereas Henry George's #SingleTax which will do far more to create a just economy and coincidentally leave enough money to fund a "Citizens Dividend" if wanted remains obscure?
Everyone moans about taxes, most of which the "#SingleTax" would end, supercharging the economy, rewarding investment/work, cutting up front cost of living in the form of reduced land rents.
Many still struggle in the meantime to explain where "Basic Income" would be paid from.
#abolishtaxes
#sharetherents
#superchargetheeconomy
#makepovertyhistory
#valueourplanetNote, I have no ideological problem with using the surplus of the community collection of location rents over what government requires to spend, as a free dividend, but that is a very different beast from a defined "income" that needs to be funded come what may.
What do "Georgists" need to do to get as much traction as "Basic Income"?

Oh Keir, Keir, Keir, you know, don’t you, that you could take income tax, VAT, national insurance and a whole bunch other taxes off our shoulders entirely while producing a more equitable and just economy.
Just REPLACE them all with a Single Tax on land especially but all economic rents where possible.
Do it now!
But you won’t will you?
You and your ilk believe you have somehow earned all those land vale profits, don’t you?

If we moved to a #SingleTax regime, on the rents of land and other economic rents where possible, politicians would have no reason to strut about as if they were actually doing any good. Because it would be automatic. That kind of explains their reluctance.

#BraveNewWorld: AFAIAC there is only one way to "solve" the housing crisis. Permanently. It also boosts production. Reduces inequality. Increases labour's bargaining power. Encourages environmentally friendly living: the #SingleTax on economic rents of #HenryGeorge.

#brexit: 8 years ago today I last voted...to remain in the EU, because although the one big policy I want to see, #singletax, is made far more difficult within #eu, I did not trust UK parliamentarians not to behave like utter tosspots given their "freedom". How right I was!

It is perfectly plausible to abolish #incometax, #capitalgainstax, #corporationtax, #vat, #inheritancetax, #nationalinsurance and any other imposts on production and wealth *creation*. The #singletax on land values and economic rents of #henrygeorge can easily fill the gap.

None of the major political parties in the UK have the faintest interest in equity and economic justice.
If any did they would pursue the #singletax of #HenryGeorge: #abolishtaxes, #sharetherents, #superchargetheeconomy, #valueourplanet #makepovertyhistory
But no. They want power, not justice.

Appalling the world over people think it acceptable to punish us for the temerity of working, creating goods, services and wealth.
Instead of demanding we pay for what we use of the community created wealth around us.
#singletax on land would solve this justly and liberate the economy and its producers.

✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Emma Lazarus!
Emma Lazarus was a poet and activist for Jewish and Georgist causes. Her most famous work is "The New Colossus". A quote from the The New Colossus is inscribed on a plaque near the Statue of Liberty.
Lazarus believed in equality and the single tax movement. She also worked to assist Jews fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe, despite the fact that she herself came from a wealthy family of Sephardi Jews who had come to New York City (then New Amsterdam) in the Jewish arrival in New Amsterdam in 1654. She helped found the Hebrew Technical Institute and the Society for the Improvement and Colonization of East European Jews.
Her poems and positions appeared in many newspapers and publications of the time.
Many historians credit Lazarus for shaping the self-identity of the United States.

A few more shall we...
Having a #singletax on land would encourage such densification. All these cities are regarded as achingly beautiful to visitors so there's no conflict there, and many of them use as much/little of the land within the 5km circles as Oxford/Cambridge do.

@ChrisMayLA6 Though no party has really understood and if they have believed in the solution for a century: the #SingleTax on land and other economic rents, simultaneously reducing the cost of living, and the housing crisis, while turbo-charging production and labour's share of it! Perhaps because their preferred solutions require politicians to "ride to the rescue" whilst all the time making the problems worse!

#introduction degree level economist, only on periphery of academia developing/supporting #VLE #moodle in Oxford, UK.
Love to be an academic economist and get the kudos of obscure chat shows calling up for an opinion, because there aren't enough Georgists or anarchists ever get asked 😜
But too advanced in career to make up my pension again if I switch now to academia!
So, any #Georgist, any #anarchist, do say hello!
