We don't need to be punished for producing wealth. But land price speculation produces zero goods or services. Also, taxing legal ways of making money creates a reward for criminal ways. **[2101513036972314928](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2101513036972314928)** — 2026-09-20 > The solution is to abolish all taxation except on land ownership. Land price speculation produces zero goods or services. It just drains the productive sector of the economy. Meanwhile, taxing wealth production is the most counterproductive way possible to improve people's lives. **[2083264417291005984](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2083264417291005984)** — 2026-07-31 > Land is overpriced because the tax on land ownership is low enough to reward land hoarding. If all taxes are abolished except on land, investors will abandon it and only those who need it will want to own it. That will minimize the price of land. ### Land vs. improvements; land vs. labor **[2102267057173623162](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102267057173623162)** — 2026-09-22 > Property tax is 2 taxes. One on land and one on improvements. But they have opposite effects. Taxing land more encourages development, but taxing improvements more discourages it. > > Newsflash: the difference between land and labor is the basis of classical economics. Land price speculation creates zero goods or services. It just drains the productive sector of our economy. **[2102174456772690324](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102174456772690324)** — 2026-09-21 > If the only thing taxed is land, its relative price will be minimized along with the tax on it. Also, home values will not be taxed at all. Only land. So, most homeowners' tax will be vastly reduced from what it is now. And the value of labor and commerce will be far higher. ### Land as store of value / “rent slaves” **[2102029375281500476](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102029375281500476)** — 2026-09-21 > What prevents fair housing prices is obfuscation of "the land issue". Land, unlike capital, is a daily biological necessity because the human body requires sleep. So, until the tax on land is high enough to prevent holding it as a store of value, systemic poverty will persist. **[2097791724080840741](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2097791724080840741)** — 2026-09-09 > Wages will tend toward subsistence as long as land, everyone's daily source of life via sleep, is a profitable store of value. **[2102052082077389277](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102052082077389277)** — 2026-09-21 > If land isn't taxed high enough to prevent investors from owning it as a store of value, everyone else will be rent slaves. Also, they'll be tax slaves since government is a necessary function of society. > > Treating land, everyone's daily source of life, like capital is illogical. **[2102123018910626034](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102123018910626034)** — 2026-09-21 > If land is the only thing taxed, land ownership will become thoroughly decentralized. Land is currently being monopolized because it's profitable to own as a store of value. When it isn't, we will all have equal access. Also, with no other taxes, we'll have free association. ### Against citizen’s dividend / UBI **[1742577510318018943](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/1742577510318018943)** — 2024-01-03 > A "Citizen's Dividend" turns society back into cattle. > > People will never be free until land tax is the only tax. If we are subsidized, nature loses control. > > Land Tax + Citizen's Dividend = FEUDALISM > Land Tax + Nothing = NATURAL LAW, aka ECONOMIC JUSTICE, aka INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY **[1938450777392963900](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/1938450777392963900)** — 2025-06-27 > Paying for the sick, needy and elderly =/= a Citizen's Dividend. Those are things every civilized government does. A CD or UBI is an entirely different concept with zero social benefits and a plethora of socially detrimental aspects. Justice is natural, not engineered. **[1910407222762340427](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/1910407222762340427)** — 2025-04-10 > He wrote many books and not even one paragraph in any of them advocates a Citizen's Dividend or a UBI. > > The single tax is natural order. Government distribution of currency is not what will give us individual freedom. Equal access to Earth is. **[1619488211033817088](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/1619488211033817088)** — 2023-01-29 > A Citizen's Dividend will not be necessary and a thorough examination reveals such a thing would have many detrimental effects on society. However, if the people were to decide to enact one anyway, it will be easy for them to do so after they are freed from financial servitude. ### Philosophy / natural law **[2085357359715569756](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2085357359715569756)** — 2026-08-06 > There is only one "correct" relationship between nature and society (economic system): equality to nature and freedom among society. We can't have individual freedom, a meritocracy or systemic efficiency without equal access to land. Single tax is the only antidote to feudalism. **[2084623417563656510](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2084623417563656510)** — 2026-08-04 > If you think social happiness depends on government wealth distribution instead of cheap land and high wages, you're being led to tyranny. Economic fairness is natural, not manufactured. Look into physiocracy. Single-tax, not socialism, is the solution to capitalism (which is not freedom, it's neo-feudalism, landlordism, a plantation system). Nature, genuine economic freedom (equal access to land), is infinitely more generous than any government could ever be. **[2081559760734675267](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2081559760734675267)** — 2026-07-26 > The solution to capitalism is not to centralize wealth and power among an even smaller group of people (while also removing the incentive to create wealth). The solution is the OPPOSITE direction - decentralize land ownership and completely end all taxes on wealth production. **[2102175634889880011](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102175634889880011)** — 2026-09-21 > No. The problem being addressed is the relationship between nature and society (overall economic justice). We can't have individual freedom without equal economic opportunity (land access). All consequences will be good for society and ecosystem. > > Challenge: find the downside. ### Authority quotes he recycles **[2102176337482174516](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2102176337482174516)** — 2026-09-21 > "Latifundia [land hoarding] ruined Rome." - Pliny the elder, principal historian of the era > > "Land monopoly is the mother of all other forms of monopoly."

The reason basic economics and the history of economic thought are not taught in public school is that the land issue is too easy to understand and the single tax is too clearly the solution. #HenryGeorgeWasRight ### Henry George birthday thread (highest-engagement sample) **[2095122841284780400](https://x.com/TaxLandNotMan/status/2095122841284780400)** — 2026-09-02 (~68 likes, ~28 reposts, ~4.9k views in the scrape) > Happy Birthday, Henry George. > > Henry George was born 187 years ago today, and it is one of the stranger injustices in American intellectual history that most people have never heard of him. In 1879 a self-taught journalist published Progress and Poverty. It sold millions of copies—more than any other book in English except the Bible for a stretch of the 1890s. It asked why poverty deepened as technology and wealth exploded. His answer: the community creates the value of land; private capture of that unearned rent drives inequality, speculation, and boom-bust cycles. Tax the land, untax work and trade. Simple. Radical. Classical. > > Though it cited individual liberty as the source of all social progress, that book also helped ignite the Progressive Era. […] At the same time, later anti-statists—Albert Jay Nock, Frank Chodorov, and the strain now called geolibertarian—saw in him a man who advocated true laissez-faire: no taxes on production, a state funded only by the value the community itself creates. He sits in both the libertarian and progressive family trees. > > There is a strong case to be made that universities teach "neo-classical" economics merely to avoid addressing the land issue and Henry George. > > He has no statues, stamps or street names because he was correct and those in power don't care about fairness or the future of humanity as much as hanging on to the status quo.

Philosophical and academic basis ### Henry George, *Progress and Poverty* (1879) Public-domain primary text. The single-tax formula: > What I, therefore, propose, as the simple yet sovereign remedy, which will raise wages, increase the earnings of capital, extirpate pauperism, abolish poverty, give remunerative employment to whoever wishes it, afford free scope to human powers, lessen crime, elevate morals, and taste, and intelligence, purify government and carry civilization to yet nobler heights, is — to appropriate rent by taxation. > > […] > > To abolish all taxation save that upon land values. > > As we have seen, the value of land is at the beginning of society nothing, but as society develops by the increase of population and the advance of the arts, it becomes greater and greater. In every civilized country, even the newest, the value of the land taken as a whole is sufficient to bear the entire expenses of government. Source excerpt: [explorepahistory.com document](https://explorepahistory.com/odocument.php?docId=1-4-20B.html) On distribution after the tax (Book 9, Ch. 3), as quoted by Forrester: > Wealth would not only be enormously increased; it would be equally distributed. I do not mean that each individual would get the same amount of wealth. That would not be equal distribution, so long as different individuals have different powers and different desires. But I mean that wealth would be distributed in accordance with the degree in which the industry, skill, knowledge, or prudence of each contributed to the common stock.

We propose to abolish all taxes for revenue. In place of all the taxes that are now levied, to impose one single tax, and that a tax upon the value of land. > > Mark me, upon the value of land alone—not upon the value of improvements, not upon the value of what the exercise of labour has done to make land valuable, that belongs to the individual; but upon the value of the land itself, irrespective of the improvements, so that an acre of land that has not been improved will pay as much tax as an acre of like land that has been improved. Source: [hgfa.org.au PDF of “The Crime of Poverty”](https://hgfa.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/The-Crime-of-Poverty.pdf) ### Thomas Paine, *Agrarian Justice* (1797) Standard geolibertarian citation (via Wikipedia’s Geolibertarianism page): > Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds. Source: [Geolibertarianism — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geolibertarianism) ### Geolibertarianism (synthesis Monroe sits nearest) > Geolibertarianism is a political and economic ideology that integrates libertarianism with Georgism. It favors a taxation system based (as in Georgism) on income derived from land and natural resources instead of on labor, coupled with a minimalist model of government, as in libertarianism. The term was coined by the late economist Fred Foldvary in 1981. > > Geolibertarians recognize the right to private ownership of land, but only if fair recompense is paid to the community for the loss of access to that land. > > Geolibertarians desire to see the revenue from land value capture cover only necessary administrative costs and fund only those public services which are essential for a governing body to secure and enforce rights to life, liberty and estate […] the surplus being equally distributed as an unconditional dividend to each citizen. Note: Monroe accepts the first half (LVT + small state) and **rejects** the surplus dividend.

It proposed a simplified and equitable tax system that upholds natural rights and whose revenue is based exclusively on ground and natural resource rents, with no additional taxation of improvements such as buildings. Source: [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_tax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_tax) ### Mason Gaffney, ATCOR > All Taxes Come Out of Rent (ATCOR) is a central theory of the heterodox Georgist school of political economy. […] The meaning and relevance of ATCOR is that when we lower other taxes, the revenue base is not lost, but shifted to land rents and values, which can then yield more taxes. Source: [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATCOR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATCOR) ### Joseph Stiglitz / Henry George Theorem (secondary summary) > In 1977, Joseph Stiglitz, who would win the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001, published a formal proof of what he called the Henry George Theorem. The theorem states: In a city of optimal population size, aggregate land rents equal expenditure on public goods.

[…] Although presented as a “tax” for practical purposes, it is actually a user fee a payment to society for the use of land whose value is determined by the market. It is not an arbitrary levy upon the fruits of labor, as is the case with most taxes. Source: [cgocouncil.org/who-we-are](https://cgocouncil.org/who-we-are/) ### Land value tax in the United States (historical) > Land value taxation […] is most famously associated with Henry George and his book Progress and Poverty (1879), which argued that because the supply of land is fixed and its location value is created by communities and public works, the economic rent of land is the most logical source of public revenue.

Supportive / explanatory journalism ### New York Times — revival of Georgism and LVT > The notion that land is an undertaxed resource — and that this distorts markets in destructive ways — unites libertarians and socialists, has brought business owners together with labor groups and is lauded by economists as a “perfect tax.” > > Strict Georgists don’t just believe land-value taxes are a good idea; they believe that if America were to throw out all taxes, then replace them with a single land-value tax, it would end poverty and recessions for good. The fundamentalist version of Georgism, like the fundamentalist version of anything, is plainly unrealistic. Source: [The ‘Georgists’ Are Out There, and They Want to Tax Your Land](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/12/business/georgism-land-tax-housing.html) — *NYT*, 2023-11-12 On Detroit’s blight rationale (Mayor Duggan, not himself a self-described Georgist): > Slap the empty parcels with higher taxes, the argument goes, and their owners will be forced to develop them into something useful. In the meantime, homeowners who actually live in the city will be rewarded with lower bills. “The phrase we use is ‘Land should eat.’” Same article. On Daryl Fairweather (Redfin), a prominent *LVT advocate who is not a single-taxer*: > She did not consider herself a Georgist, single tax and all that, but said land-value taxes were so smart that one of her favorite parts of arguing for them was they allowed her to “always be right.” They encourage housing development instead of discouraging it […] They don’t discourage work or investment, like taxes on income and capital gains. They’re also hard to dodge, since land is hard to move. ### “Least bad tax” popularizations > It’s why both Milton Friedman and Joseph Stiglitz called it “the least bad tax.” Source: [The Best Tax You’ve Never Heard Of](https://hatethegame.substack.com/p/the-best-tax-youve-never-heard-of) ### BBC — Andy Burnham / LVT vs stamp duty > One of the measures Burnham has advocated in the past is scrapping stamp duty and replacing it with a land value tax (LVT) — an annual levy based solely on the value of the land itself, excluding any buildings or improvements on the property. > > He argues that a land tax is an efficient way of raising revenue because land is in fixed supply, visible and identifiable, and cannot leave the country. There are no “damaging disincentive effects.” Source: [Could Andy Burnham scrap stamp duty?](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c621jzex0gyo) ### Georgist roots of American libertarianism > George believed that his proposal for ending it would show “that laissez-faire (in its full true meaning) opens the way to a realization of the noble dreams of socialism.” George’s panacea was the “single tax,” a tax equal to the full rental value of unimproved land, paired with the abolition of all other taxes.

Critical sources (arguments against) ### Works in Progress — historical failure (Britain 1909–1922) > As a result, David Lloyd George, the man who introduced the taxes as chancellor in 1910, repealed them as prime minister in 1922. The UK has never fully reestablished a working property tax system. This history serves as a cautionary tale for modern Georgist sympathizers who believe a land value tax will solve the world’s housing shortages. > > The definition of land value was impossible to ascertain properly and became bogged down in court cases. When it could be collected, it proved so difficult to implement that administration costs were four times greater than the actual tax income. Instead of increasing the efficiency of land use, it became a punitive tax on housebuilders, cratering housing production. > > A pure tax on the unimproved value of land has never been successfully implemented anywhere. Land value taxes introduced in Australia and New Zealand have been repealed. Denmark’s land value tax is a minor quirk of the system, comprising less than two percent of total revenues. Source: [The failure of the land value tax](https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-failure-of-the-land-value-tax/) — Samuel Watling, 2025 ### Gochenour & Caplan — search-theoretic critique > Economists’ main objections to Georgism are merely that (a) it is difficult to implement in practice, and (b) politically impossible. My co-author Zachary Gochenour and I have a new working paper arguing that the Single Tax suffers from a much more fundamental flaw. Namely: A tax on the unimproved value of land distorts the incentive to search for new land and better uses of existing land. If we actually imposed a 100% tax on the unimproved value of land, any incentive to search would disappear. This is no trivial problem: Imagine the long-run effect on the world’s oil supply if companies stopped looking for new sources of oil.

Since owners could not obtain any net rent, the sites would become valueless on the market. From that point on, sites, in short, would be free. Further, since all rent would be siphoned off to the government, there would be no incentive for owners to charge any rent at all. Rent would be zero as well, and rentals would thus be free. The first consequence of the single tax, then, is that no revenue would accrue from it. Far from supplying all the revenue of government, the single tax would yield no revenue at all. > > Not only will there be no incentive for those in power to allocate the sites efficiently, there will also be no market rents and therefore no way that anyone could find out how to allocate sites properly. In brief, the inevitable result of a single tax would be nothing less than locational chaos.

[…] if a landowner successfully discovers a valuable resource or identifies a creative way to utilize their land more productively, the government will increase their tax burden accordingly. > > George was right that other taxes may have stronger disincentives, but economists now recognize that the single land tax is not innocent, either.

Land depreciates by precisely the present value of all the taxes it will incur in future. […] As a result, the taxes harm only today’s landowners. They are like a windfall tax or a confiscation of property—and, like any such levy, arouse fierce political resistance. > > Opponents of high land-value taxes worry that homeowners who are rich on paper may not have large bank balances or incomes with which to pay another levy.
