(Serious question, not criticism)
So, in the states, the complaint is, that we no longer own land, because the state progressively taxes our land on its value.
This means that we are permanent renters, and that you move into the city for low opportunity costs, and out of the city for low cost of living.
The appreciation in value of the property goes to both the city that levies the taxes, and to the homeowner or business owner as incentive to maintain and improve the property.
The title registries and private administration of the land merely distribute the cost of administration to private individuals internal to the transactions. Which is one of the reasons anglo countries have lower corruption than public administered land.
So is the argument that we don’t tax ENOUGH? because as far as I can tell, we already accomplish this project with progressive taxation.
