Subject:Re: [social credit] Land Value tax
Date:Saturday, September 10, 2005  14:05:00 (+0100)
From:Kenneth Palmerton <kenpalmerton @................uk>

Hi Jim.

My apologies, I think I was too harsh in the "egg" bit, particularly as we 
may have a problem of translation in this "common language that divides 
us".

What you in the Colonies may call "Land tax" and "capital levy", may mean 
something different here :-)

What people like Beveridge, and the Liberal tradition that he was a part 
of spoke about was nothing to do with "appropriation", or even the value 
of land directly, but about the improved value.

What that means for us is the ability of the community to benefit from the 
improvement that THEY, the community, not the owner, made to land values. 
Especially upon sale.

It has been calculated that this improved value is considerable.

As for Douglas and the McMillan enquiry. I have wondered if the man was 
sober :-)
Have you actually READ the report?

And yes, I do take your point about the difference in the money value of 
an actual asset, and the value of a money asset. In fact it is the root 
reason for my activity here in seeking that the land campaigners and the 
money campaigners are in fact arguing the two sides of the same coin. Each 
with their concerns being incomplete without the other.

As for your last point, I do not really know what people want. But I feel 
that if they had understanding, and were being sensible, they would plump 
for the means to consume every time.

In this I accept Douglas s comment that "Ownership does not give control".

Maybe you can guess at the number of verbal punch ups that has caused me 
in discussion with Socialists :-)))

Ken.

Hi Ken:

I have no fear of "egg on my face", because I qualified my statement by
emphasizing that I did not receive the attachment that the gentleman sent.

My question to you is what do you hope to achieve by this "capital levy"?
In other words, what is its objective?

Also, this goes to the core of the problem identified in Douglas' A+B
theorem, and why he used an example of it in his testimony before the
MacMillan Commission.

Do you not agree that there is a difference between an asset (i.e. land)
valued at $1,000,000 and actually having $1,000,000?

Do you think people want ownership of the means of production, or the 
fruitsof production?

Take care,

Jim
