REPAIRING ECONOMICS

Why do we fail to act upon the obvious? Public capture of ground rent for the use and abuse of our natural resources (instead of taxes), sets to rights the relationship between people and the planet.

The question needs asking: Do we prefer enslavement to debt and unnecessary social strife to freedom and prosperity? Taxes that inflate land prices in the interest of some at the expense of others, together with taxing labour and capital for working together, makes mockery of every bill of human rights. We should look askance at those calling for ‘rights’ without this simple fiscal adjustment. They are either ignorant, or complicit in the private capture of our publicly-generated economic rents.

As all taxes, together with their excess burden, are extracted from rent (ATCOR and EBCOR), we need to call out social parasites’ ludicrous claim that “There’s not enough rent!”

Never enough for them, perhaps?
