TO A RIGGED TAX REGIME WE MAY NOW ADD UNION CORRUPTION

And surely unions are also compromised in looking after their members’ interests properly when they run superannuation funds, largely invested in real estate?

So, let’s trust the upcoming financial collapse will see political reforms at least the magnitude of those of the Progressive Era.

(And Wiki, the Progressive Era didn’t just take place in the USA. For instance, Australia had land taxes at all three levels of government, the first Labor government having introduced the federal land tax in 1910, ever before the odious income tax was later introduced, and the Australian Capital Territory was set up on a Georgist leasehold system in 1913 to prevent real estate speculation in Canberra.)
