The primary argument for #LandValueTax as the #SingleTax is not that it is demonstrably the most effective and efficient means of #taxation, it's the moral argument that #LVT is the only tax which comports with the requirements of #morality based on the #NaturalRights theory of #Equality, #Liberty, and #Justice for All.

Acceptance of this is unnecessary, because even if you don't believe in #libertarian #philosophy, you still believe in the authority of government to tax anything it wishes.

A quotation from Alexander Hamilton

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.

Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) American statesman, author
Essay (1775-02-23), “The Farmer Refuted”
