#1 Nope, it just demonstrates "Ricardos Law of Rent" whereby low taxes DO stimulate the economy, but that gain is taken not by workers but those who own government created monopolies on the Land.

If the state just taxes Land rights (not what you build on it, or what you earn on it), instead of punishing wealth creators then the economy wouldn't be so fooked.

#2 You should imagine Land Rent as a form of privately created tax, and thus.

The ONLY way to really lower tax is for the state to tax land rights, and stop taxing wealth creation.

#3 I'm taxed on MY "Land" every year, it's called "Property Tax".
I pay $130.00 Per year, don't pay it and lose the land.
Mom (Who lives in town), Pays considerably more, She pays $388.38 Tax each and every year. Partly because the value is higher.(It's based on property value, and which county you live in.)
