Logos
a) Describe the philosophical reasonings for Georgism: no one can produce land, so just like air, no one should be able to own it. Almost always, those who own land now, own land that was once stolen from someone.
b) Describe the economical reasonings: a tax on a fixed supply does not introduce deadweight loss or the opportunity to pass the tax to end consumers.
c) From Adam Smith to Milton Friedman, economists endorse LVT
Pathos
a) For those left of the aisle, affordable housing and taxing the rich are exciting benefits.
b) For those on the right, greater property rights to landowners by upzoning and a LVT reducing the reach of government.
