Does anyone else see “removed” in this comment? Is the instance editing comments to censor certain words or is it just the user?

Okay deleted my previous comment because this CMV is not really about socialism vs capitalism.

You are technically correct in saying that people not wanting to work because they aren’t paid enough is a capitalism problem, but it doesn’t really change my view on the solution of a land value tax, as it is a capitalist solution that I think only applies to a capitalist system.

Idk what definition of commodity you are using, but I will say that it seems that by wikipedia’s definition something like food or manufactured goods are more of a commodity than land, something that can not be created.

I would agree that housing is a commodity though, so long as there is more land to build it on.

I think a land value tax would speed up the process of building more houses, and would make housing denser because owners of the land would be incentivised to build as many houses as possible to not loose money to the land value tax.

Wdym my tip system?

Sure, but at least companies can be competed with and if they get too big, are subject to government scrutiny. On the other hand, its really hard to control a large population of landowners and speculators who have a personal incentive to do whatever they can to increase the perceived price of their owned land.

If landlords don’t want to hemorrhage money by not having a paying tenant on their land, they will lower their prices. The problem with land is that we can’t create more of it. It is not a commodity supply can be artificially restricted to the detriment of the rest of society. If land holders constantly lost money for not having their land generate wealth, there would be no incentive to artificially reduce supply.

Change My View: Its not the business owner’s fault that they can’t pay enough wages to hire enough people. It is the landowners and land speculators fault for raising the rent / price of land to the point where the businessowers don’t have enough money to pay.people because all their revenue is going to the landowners. I believe we need a land value tax to fix this issue.
