Nonrenewable Exhaustible Resources and Property Taxation

The Changing of the Guard
Reducing Tax Obstacles to Economic Progress
An Address o Land Taxation as an Evasion-proof Revenue source
Guidance from an Economics Classic
The ideas of Henry George on free trade and land taxation are still relevant. The standard of living has risen without the adoption of his ideas on the latter in contradiction of his predictions.

Taxing the "inside buildup" would obstruct the building up of a capital base for the family and the economy. Economists recognize that there are alternat…
Important Issues and Serious Problems in Flat-rate Income Taxation
Dozens of important issues are connected with the proposal of flat-rate income taxation How much, if any, activity would leave the underground economy for the reported one? Would effort and saving change? Would efficiency in the allocation of business and personal resources he effected? High rates of taxation and differences in tax rates influence behavior for better or worse. Serious proposals to change them deserve serious consideration, but di…
