And what is a reasonable level? And what evidence do you have that LVT can't achieve that? Maybe LVT creates such an increase in productivity it creates a virtuous cycle where land values increase so LVT increases and we can pay for so many public services and subsidies for the poor.

Idk but saying it's fixed when it's reasonable is really not answering the question.

I don't have exact numbers for what "a reasonable level" is off hand, but "a heck of a lot lower than now" would be a great start.

Again, the onus is on you to describe a mechanism by which abolishing most forms of taxes will drastically reduce wealth discrepancy. I'm not arguing against LVT, you're the one who's arguing against everything that's not LVT.

Tell me where I argued against everything that's not LVT lol

Again strawman and false dichotomy.

I can't help if you think LVT wouldn't reduce the disparity sufficiently. I'm saying that it's possible it does. I outlined the process how. You don't accept it that's fine. But I do think a big LVT would make a heck of a difference.

Again, that doesn't mean I'm against every and any other tax that could also make a difference.
