> it’s easy to tax other people - the rich, bankers, benefits scroungers, energy executives Taxing the working class is the easiest: do vat tax, force income tax. Tere is no way taxing rich or executives is comparably easy. -- Let's not bother with taxing the rich to see what could happen when smallest number of people accumulate wealth in X times faster than anyone else. And don't tell me "it's natural order of things", dying from desease in 35 is natural, dying in childbirthing is natural, becoming a monopoly is natural, circumventing competition is natural. Does not mean we need to keep doing these things. |

Marginal land value tax rates. Use beneficial ownership data, and land ownership records, which should all be digitized by now, and apply a tax rate according to total ownership and “urban-ness” of the land. Since businesses have to pay also, it flows through to shareholders, and may serve as a counterbalance to businesses getting excessively large.
