Well you sort of explained the georgist love did you not? “We need a Department of Public Works and Revenue, *which collects the rent and invests it*, but the emphasis must be on the investing and the building, not on the taxing” – George focuses more on the “investing” – when he does focus on the “taxing” its to make the point, why should we pay 249 other taxes, when we can pay just one? “Investing via efficiency” I suppose. Once you place emphasis on both, I think people will understand.

I cant see anyway a landtax would be possible, appealing or successful. It’s truly hopeless.

I think it has to be approached indirectly. Deprive State and Local government and Statutory authorities of any other sources of revenue and let land revenue be fully available to them if they wish it.

Link land revenue directly with infrastructure investment.

Switch the focus from the taxing to the investing. We need a Department of Public Works and Revenue, which collects the rent and invests it, but the emphasis must be on the investing and the building, not on the taxing.

The georgite love of tax is really crazy, impossible to explain.
