What is the exempt amount of advantageous land and how is it determined? I'm a bit confused on your meaning, could you clarify this point?
The laissez-faire marketplace operates without checks or controls Nope i am not a commie, when did i claim to be? Or did you just make it up?
Well it does have laws against force and fraud. So I wouldn't say it no checks or controls. So not a commie. Okay. So...what...some kind of authoritarian or something?
Ok. Minimal checks and balances you just cannot help yourself. Lol. Maybe next you will call me a pedo?
And I keep telling those who refuse to understand what the word "capitalism" means to look it up in the dictionary! If you don't want capitalism, perhaps we should go back to barter? What is wrong with capitalism is the manner in which it is employed to create exaggerated riches. And that is purely a question of upper-income taxation! Get it? The PROBLEM IS UPPER-INCOME TAXATION. Which, in the US was brought about by Reckless Ronnie (for the most part). See the history of taxation here: Get it? If not, go for it ... ! And the above is an exaggeration of fact. Upper-income taxation can be put back up to the Top Marginal Rates, and the money will still come pouring into the Rich Buckets. What must be treated is the near-zero estate-tax exemptions! The exemption as now shown is 80% since 2012. And why/who was elected to replace Obama and passed the exemption? To further the Donald Dork reelection nest-of-eggs! Why, ever, should the rich be allowed to transfer ill-got gains (due to far too low historic taxation) of the past to enhance the megabuck-nests of their children, and then their children, and then their children? Let's face the factual-evidence. WE, THE SHEEPLE, foolishly further the interests of the rich and super-rich by reelecting Replicants to office in DC ...
Yes. And (far) worse still, the poor would not have the opportunity to work towards land ownership as they do now.

Just as without slavery, slaves would not have the opportunity to work towards owning slaves of their own....?
As you know, it has not. You know that I have a right to my rights whether or not you claim to own them. You just want to be legally entitled to own other people's rights to liberty. Simple. Oooooh, you're such a tough guy. You scare me. You know I have proved it is not only comparable, not only similar, but equivalent.
Are you aware of any poster who is in favor of slavery? I'm not quite sure why you keep brining it up as if it is a topic anyone is debating.
I've suggested half the median land value used per capita as a reasonable first approximation. That's an amount that should be enough to ensure adequate access to opportunity, but not so much that it would crowd out too much public spending on desirable services and infrastructure. It could be more or less than that, depending on how well that amount works. The LSR liability on each parcel would be reduced by a uniform amount for each citizen resident there.
Yes. Lots of posters want to enslave others by owning their rights to liberty. It's called, "logic," something with which you all too obviously have no acquaintance. Specifically, reductio ad absurdum: if your argument would justify slavery, as the arguments of those trying to justify property in land typically do, then it is already known to be fallacious with no further argument needed, even if you are not advocating slavery, because people realize that justifying slavery is absurd.
Yep: the proceeds going to the government and community who make the land valuable rather than to a thieving parasite in return for nothing is quite an innovation.
Hehe. If I owned your rights to liberty, I would not be making just compensation to you for violating them, now would I? It is therefore YOUR plan, not mine, that involves owning others' rights to liberty, and I will thank you to remember it.
No, not even remotely close. Slaves were forced into complaince. American citizens are completely free to buy land whenever and wherever they like. Or not buy land at all, if they don't care for that level of autonomy.
YOU are the 'thieving parasite' - in a nation which allows ANYONE to own land. Whether you exercise that right or not is completely beside the point. When nothing prevents you from ownership, nothing separates you from 'thieving parasites'. That you can't see this fundamental flaw in your bizarrely religious take on this stuff, is a mystery.
Who is 'the community'? And what are 'proceeds'? Payment for CONTROL OF LAND? I repeat ... what's the freaking difference?
