This comment is certainly testing the theory that old topics don't die on Hubski, but... What about Georgisim, which is a tax on the unimproved value of land? As opposed to other taxation systems, this one actually encourages economic efficiency by encouraging the maximization of the profitable use of land. And economists say the tax cannot be passed onto laborers or tenants, that it will always come out of the profit of the land owners.
