What do you think of Land Value Tax (LVT)

[Steven Douglas]

If you were the stupidest person on earth, you still would not be so stupid that you wouldn't know:

1) Government in fact ALREADY DOES administer use of air so that the rights of all to breathe it are secured, and
2) Not being evil, greedy filth as private airlords would indisputably be, it in fact doesn't charge anyone any rent for air to breathe.

So, stupidity cannot be the cause of your absurd, fallacious and grotesque nonsense. Only dishonesty can produce such completely outrageous garbage.

Don't you understand what it means when I always prove your "arguments" are stupid, fallacious, absurd, dishonest, and stupid?

No, right about now I am feeling infinitely more intelligent, as well as infinitely more knowledgeable and honest, than you.

1) Government does not "administer use of air". That's silliness on your part, like a Saint Bernard bitch who winces from a flea bite and you, the chihuahua on the stool that is humping her from behind, says, "Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt you honey?" Government attempts to govern and regulate localized air usage (factories, autos, etc.,), but it does not, and cannot, collectivize the air, nor does it "administer use of air". That's upside down and backwards crank talk right there.

2) Merely saying thing like, "...evil, greedy filth...private...stupidity...absurd, fallacious and grotesque nonsense...dishonesty...completely outrageous garbage...stupid, fallacious, absurd, dishonest, and stupid..." is evidence to me of nausea and stomach pains on your part, but it does not make you "...infinitely more intelligent, as well as infinitely more knowledgeable and honest..." Then again, you didn't claim that, did you? You said it had you ""right now feeling" that way. I don't think that's true, but it is at least consistent with all your prior delusions of intelligence and honesty.

1) Government does not "administer use of air".

It most certainly and indisputably does, stop lying.

That's silliness on your part,

It is obvious fact, and you are just lying.

Government attempts to govern and regulate localized air usage (factories, autos, etc.,), but it does not, and cannot, collectivize the air,

Nice attempt to change the subject.

nor does it "administer use of air".

You are indisputably wrong. As usual. EPA standards, auto emission standards, carbon taxes, acid rain sulfur limits, etc. are all manifestations of government administration of use of air.

That's upside down and backwards crank talk right there.

That's stupid, empty garbage right there.

[Roy L]

Actually, it would legitimize them, making it incredibly easy for them to operate, and on the grandest scale imaginable. LVT would do for land what the Fed did for currency. Instead of Mafia, you just say "State". Oh, and just like the Mafia, they'll know which palms to grease, what needs to be "given back" to key parts of da community. No free lunch, you don't slop from the public trough without making sure that enough voting little piggies get their turn at all that "reclaimed" wealth. And most can be bought for a song.

Here's more proof just how wrong you always have to be when you stupidly and dishonestly slag LVT:

Fuck that

...obviously not having read the thread, and knowing nothing about land value tax, but seeing the word, "tax" and reacting with a knee-jerk reflex...

Like all who refuse to think about this issue, you deserve your society's fate.
