Endorsement

"Removing almost all business taxes, including property taxes on improvements, excepting only taxes reflecting the marginal social cost of public services rendered to specific activities, and replacing them with taxes on site values, would substantially improve the economic efficiency of the jurisdiction."William Vickrey, professor of economics and Nobel Laureate

 

Eight Nobel Laureates in Economics have endorsed a tax on land values rather than on production.

 

Feedback

Leave us your feedback on our city's challenges and our common wealth solution.

What's your take on the proposed cuts to the budget of Philadelphia and the freezing of the business tax and other tax reductions?  What do you think will happen?

Do you think that revenues can be enhanced by our idea of a land value tax?  Is a land value tax fairer to you and your family?  Should those who own vacant land, valuable land and lots pay more of the share for increased revenues?
