GEORGISM: Eliminate all Income and Sales Taxes, and return to the Founding Fathers' NATIONAL TAX ON HIGH LAND VALUES

All Taxation of Labor and Capital should be abolished, and Direct Taxation imposed ONLY upon Owned Land Value, ABOVE a Median Homestead Exemption.

Regarded by Economists of both Right and Left as “The Perfect Tax”, the elimination of all Income Taxes, Payroll Taxes, Sales Taxes, and Profit Taxes (thereby liberating hundreds of millions of Poor and Middle-Class Workers and Small Businessmen from ANY Taxation), and replacement with a National Land Value Tax concentrating ALL taxation only upon the Big Land-Owners who own MORE Land than a Median Homestead Exemption (similar to the Founding Fathers’ National Land Tax of 1798) – would thus impose Taxation exclusively upon the wealthiest land-owners, the Millionaires and Billionaires who can best afford to pay, and set everybody else free from any tax liability ever again until THEY become a Big Land-Owner, while simultaneously encouraging Land Conservation.

Mr. Beat

It is the most Fair way to tax and it was invented by Henry George who lived in the New York and made a book called:
Progress And Poverty
And inquiry into the cause of industrial depressions and of increase of want with increase of wealth: the remedy

A form of georgism has already been tried in Taiwan and Singapore and even though it hasn’t been implemented perfectly they are the richest countries in the world when counting GDP per capita
If a imperfect form of Georgeism helps economies grow quickly and efficiently in a healthy way imagine what it would look like if it’s implemented perfectly.
