No one doubts that the assets can contribute to production. It's the owners who might as well be comatose or non-existent, whether they are...
I'm ahead of their curve.
Success at what? Success at exploiting opportunities to profit by injustice certainly sounds unjust.
No. You provided three definitions, only one of which, the second, was relevant. And it does not describe a group of people but a legal entity...
Obviously, that is not the relevant sense of the word. That is the relevant sense of the word. It describes a legal entity that is typically...
How do you know what the potential land value is? Uh, that is what any tax does, hello? Once LVT is in place, the fair market value would be...
At least they make better economists than landlords and realtors do... And your comment doesn't explain your sad and absurd attempts to ignore,...
A bald eagle's egg can be incubated by anyone, just like a baby can be raised by anyone. The difference with a pre-viable fetus is that its...
A corporation is definitely property, and is owned as such. It is not a group of people. A corporation is a legal person that is owned by other...
But defend an equivalent privilege and the associated injustice. It's a discussion of how the rich profit by privilege, of which slave owning...
Are you serious? The freest nation in history is the one that keeps the largest portion of its population locked in steel cages? The least...
Who owns Gunther IV? It sure as heck does, as any corporation proves. You are just objectively and indisputably wrong. In some places. Yet it...

Of course the corrupt buy politicians with unearned wealth. Like the privileged, the corrupt by definition get their wealth without earning it....
Again, that's just clearly false. The landowner's only "contribution" to production is to stop producers from producing unless they meet his...
That's indisputably false. A worker can use what nature provided to provide for himself, without any capital. In fact, that is how our ancestors...
Huh? The workers are self-evidently the ones producing the wealth, and I just explained to you that those who produce it are not the ones who get...
Stop it. You know that is his primary goal, and the reason for his peculiar posting technique.
You have presented no evidence that initial infrastructure was funded by landowners, nor will you ever be doing so. It is indisputably the case,...
Public purposes and benefit. I am curious as to the factual basis of your claim that in all communities a property tax on land was the first...
