Henry George saw that some of our structures permit individuals and corporations to privatize value which the entire community has created by its presence and investment in goods and services, and to privatize the value of scarce non-renewable Natural Resources, just as if they had somehow created them and could create more in response to demand.
He saw that we could solve this problem very simply and very logically, very efficiently and very justly by shift our taxes off sales and wages, off buildings, and onto land and natural resources. This is the most basic sort of user fee, similar to a parking meter. One pays in proportion to the value of the piece of the earth one claims for oneself.
A lot of the most serious problems we face -- poverty, sprawl, pollution, long commutes, low wages, joblessness, energy dependence, to name a few -- would be on their way to being solved, were we to enact George's "remedy."
I commend it to your attention. Search on "wealthandwant" "cooperative individualism" "henry george" "land value taxation" "lvtfan" "urban tools" for more about these ideas.
