โ€œOne reason why I prefer to use #geoism over #georgism is that I dislike to have โ€˜ismsโ€™ or ideologies named after a specific person.โ€

Just told my 10yo daughter about #LVT. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#LVTKandaforever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate.

I just discovered Andy Burnham is a fan of Land Value Recovery (a.k.a. Land Value Tax).

As a politician who aspires to lead the UK Labour Party and become prime minister, the 18 June Makerfield by-election has suddenly become way more interesting.

This would be a brilliant reversal, and could be combined with an #LVT to increase funding.

A tax on unleased land larger than 1/4 acre and not owned by a public Trust would pretty much spare all domestic housing and farming activities from tax while removing the incentive for land banking and hereditary land ownership.

#LVT makes a predictable appearance here.

Canadian soldiers on an LVT amphibious vehicle in the flooded Dutch village of Leuth, a few kilometers east of Nijmegen. The standing soldier has a captured StG 44 - 10th Feb 1945 #worldwar2 #ww2 #nijmegen #leuth #dutch #canadian #lvt #flooded #amphibious #history

@johannab I would argue that #UBI should be separate from allocations for healthcare, education, and possibly even housing, because it's obvious that some people will choose to spend their UBI unwisely, so we should at least ensure these common goods.

As for how to pay for it, I argue that #LVT #LandValueTax as the #SingleTax is the right way. We don't need to muck about with income taxes, estate taxes, or anything else (other than pollution taxes).

I disgree that children should get less.
