Why the Single Tax works is human activity will be tax-free and every individual will have equal access to land, our daily source of life (via sleep). So, there will be no poverty because rent will be low and wages will be high. People will have free time and extra money.
And we will have the correct relationship between nature and society – equality to nature and freedom among society, equal access to natural providence, but complete ownership of one’s own labor and its produce.
And taxing for the use of resource instead of the amount produced is obvious if efficiency (or fairness) is the goal. So, we should tax location ownership ONLY and nothing else. Free association is what can best cultivate social harmony.
And the only way to save the ecosystem is to turn off the treadmill that’s forcing people to produce 100x more wealth than anyone even has time to use. Investors won’t care as much about return once inflation is limited to the value of our time.
