she is right. a country cannot function without taxes. the rich already arent being taxed enough, and so dumb poor MAGAt think they shouldn't be taxed either.

it's the primary source of revenue. without it, you'd kill half the government's budget.
>>517670096
it's not nearly as recent as you're implying. before 1913, the government relied on tariffs, excise taxes, land sales. these worked when the federal government was much smaller.
today, the federal budget is over $6 trillion. tariffs and excise taxes could never cover that.

replace all taxes with unimproved land value tax of 15%.

2009 total US unimproved land value was estimated at ~$24 trillion, i'm going to assume that has more than doubled in the 16 years since then to ~$50 trillion today. about 10% of that value is owned by the federal government, so we get taxable value of $45 trillion.

current US federal tax revenue is $5.5 trillion. a 15% land value tax would result in revenue of $6.75 trillion per year. this would decrease the deficit to about $650 bn per year, 2.1% of GDP per year, or below half of the sustained nominal GDP growth rate of ~4.5%. this would mean a shrinking debt to GDP ratio.

if you want to maintain a steady debt to GDP ratio, 13.5% instead of 15% would result in $6.075 trillion per year in revenue.

the many positive impacts of this policy change would include:
drastically decreased costs associated with tax collection
significantly simpler tax preparation for citizens
minimal tax penalties on actual productive economic activity
incentivizing the development of unimproved, high-value land
disincentivizing land speculation

the tax is also about as progressive as it gets; if you don't own land, you don't pay any taxes
