"The menace George posed to rent-takers is clear from how he viewed them. To George, the landowner per se is nonfunctional (unproductive), a layabout drone, a drain on the hive, a transferee, a welfare case." Mason Gaffney https://t.co/dKizia8Tfw
"The vast body of the British people and their subjects are forced to pay enormous sums to a few — for the privilege of being permitted to live on the land they so fondly call their own." Henry George 1879 https://t.co/2SqOfhY976
"Most of today’s ‘wealth’ isn’t the result of entrepreneurialism and hard work – it has been accumulated by being idle and unproductive. Far from the positive sum game capitalism is supposed to be, we have a system where most wealth is gained at the expense of others."
"Land values increase naturally over time as economic growth and a rising population increases demand for a resource that is inherently fixed in supply. Public and private investment in infrastructure and amenities also increases the value of land."
