But most land owners already pay land taxes every year. And the amount of tax you pay depends upon the value of the land. 20 years ago I bought a little house way out in the fucking middle of nowhere, cuz that’s all I could afford. Now, the area around me has suddenly become a hotspot for development and I am paying 4x what I was originally paying.
The real problem, as others have stated, is the loopholes that give companies special rights and privileges.
