    See there’s an issue you want a one size fits all that’s never going to happen. Focus on fixing one thing that will help the population astronomically.

    why would the landlords in power allow the workers to tax them our of power

    Well through public ridicule or at gunpoint I’d imagine

      It’s happened historically in several countries, whereas georgism has happened in a total of 0.

      Great. Now, who are the people organizing and agitating the workers to gather the numbers and strength to do this at gunpoint? Hint: again, not the Georgists

        Most countries used to tax land. The taxing of wages and capital is a fairly new concept. And many countries have currently adopted land value taxes in a smaller scale. Pennsylvania has experience with it. Denmark adopted it because of Henry George. Many countries have public land leasing like China and Singapore and the Netherlands.
