Wise taxation brings jobs and prosperity
Robert Schalkenbach Foundation have produced a Primer on Land Value Tax. While focused on Colorado, the principles apply everywhere.
Also, an extensive review of research literature about LVT has been posted here. Among the topics covered are effects on sprawl/infill, housing supply, business formation, environment, tax compliance, inequality, and rents.
Back in 2015, the late economist Fred Foldvary proposed a possible means to achieve peace in Israel and Palestinian territory. The reasoning behind “A Confederation of New Canaan” remains valid even as the stakes seem to have risen. It’s fully described here.
The Israel Palestinian Confederation is an active group working toward this remedy. Perhaps they should receive more attention.
Public Revenue Education Council is again representing advocates of the land value tax (LVT) at the 2016 “Legislative Summit” of the National Council of State Legislatures. Legislators and their staffs have a lot of concerns, but for most, two of the top priorities are economic development and tax revenue. At our Booth 505 in the NCSL Exhibit Hall you can learn about one policy that achieves both.
While we are based in St. Louis, proponents able to assist with smart revenue policy are located throughout the United States and other countries.
