We need to replace all taxes with a land value tax

Real estate tax is the worst form of tax because the ownership of land is fundamental to freedom.

 

Keeping what your labor creates is fundamental to freedom. Landownership is actually an impediment to freedom for the majority people, because it allows landowners to take what others produce.

 

All ownership limits the freedom of others. That's the whole point. If you own a car, I am not free to take it whenever I wish.

If we eliminate the legal concept of ownership, that would lead to chaos. Everyone could just take and use what they want when they want. It would not be workable.

 

You're free not to sell your labor.

Wrong, Land ownership is no different than any other type of property ownership, and property ownership in general is the very basis of human rights.

There is probably no way of conceiving of individual rights other than as either property rights or extensions of property rights. Our right to life stems from the fact that it is our own (and only) life. Our right to the disposal of our time stems from the fact that it is our own time. Our right to the use of our faculties stems from the fact that they are our own.

Remove from them the concept of private property and the claim to them goes as well. At the point where you no longer have the right to own your land, or your house, then all your possessions are vulnerable to the tyranny of government.... even your body and your life which are by law another form of a persons property.
