Proposals to Abolish the Property Tax

[ndrosen]

There is an article in Reason about proposals to abolish the property tax, making several good points. In particular, I noted this sentence: “[Milton] Friedman’s qualified support for property taxes (and specifically property taxes on the value of unimproved land) was premised on the idea that the taxes that would replace it, namely sales and income taxes, are more economically destructive.”

They are also more contrary to justice, in my opinion.
