MrSmith Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 *Rent land*. Rent it from the people; land value tax & citizens incomes. By the nature of the tax, everybody would have an entitlement to a small parcel of land. The size of that parcel would depend upon population. Higher population - smaller parcel of land. So every time someone is born the land as to be redistributed so everyone gets a slightly smaller parcel of land, then when someone dies it’s done again. Would it be a tad chaotic and what happens if I’ve built on my land then i have to give some away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of the land is not fixed, but the tax is a proportion of its value, and the proceeds of the tax are divided by population and given to each man woman and child accordingly. If population increases, land taxes will have to rise so that the land is shared more efficiently - supply and demand. If population decreases, the tax would fall somewhat as land became more plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saunaman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 So where's a Moderator when you need one , to say "Keep on Thread" ?????

Darth Vader Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I am absolutely disgusted to learn about this. As another poster said, "Britons never ever ever shall be slaves". Too late. I would be disgusted to read about this happening in one of the world's known oppressive regimes but to discover it is happening in my country I am ashamed.

studentbob Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 John Prescott has written to Theresa May about this, and will be debating with CPUK's MD Molly Prince on Today programme after 8am. Should be a good listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it still be divided into residential, industrial, farm land and common land, or would the tax be the same on it all regardless of its use.

anywebsite Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Would it still be divided into residential, industrial, farm land and common land, or would the tax be the same on it all regardless of its use. Either way would be better than the current situation. We can sort out these technicalities once we've got rid of the CAP & convinced more people that a land tax is a good idea.
