That #singletax continues youtube.com/shorts/R5uOZ...
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
"As soon as land becomes private property, the landlord demands a share of almost all the produce." - Adam Smith
"Rent is the secret tax the wealthy charge the poor." - Joseph E. Stiglitz
"Solving the land question means the solving of all social questions." - Leo Tolstoy
#singletax #henrygeorge
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.
Another #SingleTax is that dating apps are free but for them to be at all vaguely useful you have to pay. It will make compatibility matches that are so far from your preferences that it is clearly a ploy to make you pay 🤬
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 […]
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.

Most people who live alone know they’re paying a premium compared to their friends who split rent with partners or roommates. But in no city is this “singles tax” more expensive than in #NewYorkCity. www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/b... #singletax
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_G...
"He inspired the economic philosophy known as #Georgism, the belief that people should own the value they produce themselves, but that the economic value of land (including natural resources) should belong equally to all members of society."
#SingleTax
You clearly don't know your history. Look up the #SingleTax movement.
All we need to do is #sharetherents bro. Like, that's the injustice you inherently feel.
And guess what, you are literally complaining about neoliberals. Neoclassical economics was literally a campaign against clasical liberalism. #SingleTax movement was about at critical mass, neolibs derailed it.
R.I.P. #HenryGeorge and the #SingleTax movement 😔
Don't get me wrong, I think #InheritanceTax is a bad tax, should be abolished. It mixes up taxing products of work & capital which should not be taxed, with the rents of land that no individual or family creates and should rightly be collected by the community as a #singletax
Something not often said about the #SingleTax is how bloody expensive gift giving is, especially at Christmas. Eg. My sister’s family of 4 would give me 1 gift (if I’m lucky) but I’ve got to do 4 (or 3). I WANT to give the gifts, of course, but I’m one person & it all adds up!
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: centax.org.uk
Not my preferred view angle for the Two Towers. But when booking one ticket it forces you to go to 1 of the 2 single seats, and the other was taken another #SingleTax
Sofas are great for the cinema, but not when it makes loads alone sit where they don’t want
