"Land has a scarcity value when it is in desirable locations. That value is not
down to individual effort but derives from the community, and often from schools,
hospitals and parks provided by the public purse. Therefore, as the economist
David Ricardo explained, land has a rental value that can be taxed."

Everything has a value that can be taxed if the taxer has a socialist mindset.

Taxing potential income is a deterrent to private property ownership and to capitalism.

Down with land taxes. They deter private property ownership.

Down with income taxes. They discourage ambition and enterprise.
