ever interview a Georgist bitcoiner? I'm sure they're out there. tend to cross the political spectrum. it'd be interesting to get their perspective.

as most taxes are on human effort, they tend to be regressive. yet a single tax on land only, as proposed by Henry George in 1879, is not. it reduces land speculation and landlord profits. it'd also likely make local politicians more accountable and aligned with their constituents.
many modern YIMBYs are its spiritual successors.

it occurs to me, it's also the one tax that cannot be easily avoided one way or another with Bitcoin, which is pretty unique.

sooner or later this'll occur to our politicians too. probably after doubling down on all the shit they've tried before that we know doesn't work.
