Fantastic discussion—keep that fire going, Fred and Peter! You’re spot on about Human Rights being empty words if we don’t prioritise social responsibility (like collecting land rent) over taxing productivity.

One quick note for Fred: governments with their own currency don’t actually need to ‘borrow.’ The ‘national debt’ is largely a media myth fueled by unnecessary bond sales. As Henry George and Lincoln proved, once a government spends the money, there’s no reason to pay for it a second time in interest.
