    You must get this freeloading notion out of your head. And get the blinkers off. You must try.

    I didn't bother with citations because the are well known numbers.

    Do you have alternate numbers? The Majority of Americans are landowners. The Government spends slightly more than the total land value of the United States every year.

    Focusing that tax draw on landowners focuses it on families, not land lords or businesses. It will never work out favourably.

    But by all means, feel free to post actual estimates for any number you thought was considerably off. With citations of course.

    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    Brain of America, you made the numbers up.

    Understand how LVT is calculated and implemented.

    The problem is not LVT. Eco-warrior you are a socialist. We disagree on every role of government possible. If it was just LVT we could at least work towards minarchism first. But you wouldn't want to give up huge government at all.

    You are right. If the question were if LVT is the least of all possible evils, the whole argument would be entirely different. But he argues that LVT is actually a positive thing. That's ludicrous.

    I'd still disagree with it, but the discussion would be much more useful.

    You clearly do not understand LVT. If you did you would not come out with such a silly statement. Geonomics is the ONLY just and free economic system there is.

    I am not a socialist. I am a free-marketeer, with a government there to maintain that in ensuring it is not rigged or monopolized. I agree with a Welfare system, such as a National Health System. Look at Micheal Moore's Sicko. Embarrassing isn't it?

    But you wouldn't want to give up huge government at all.
    Geonomics ensures small government.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    Our entire monetary system is going to undergo a catastrophic collapse long before your fantasy, human-enslaving, leftist-socialist pipe dream could ever be realized, even temporarily. Good luck trying to entitle yourself to someone else's services when that day comes.

    are you that stupid, or are you just counting on everyone else being even stupider? i didn't even click your link, because the "prime cuts" (i.e., excerpts) you posted contained ZER0 facts. either you chose to post only the lopsided propaganda bullsh!+, or the whole article is lopsided propaganda bullsh!+. either way, when science cultists frame their arguments with cutesy epithets and logical fallacies, my eyes glaze over. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    I figured if the people trying to be divisive by calling everyone who isn't racist, or culturally exclusionary, or whatever they want to call it, a leftist could stand to see a real leftist.

    I doubt it'll improve their behavior, but at least they have no excuse.
