Citizen s dividend or citizen s income is a proposed state policy based upon the principle that the natural world is the common property of all persons see Georgism . It is proposed that all citizens receive regular payments dividend s from revenue raised by the state through leasing or selling natural resource s for private use. In the United States , the idea can be traced back to Thomas Paine s essay, Agrarian Justice , ref http www.thomaspaine.org Archives agjst.html Agrarian Justice, Thomas Paine ref which is also considered one of the earliest proposals for a social security system in the United States. Thomas Paine best summarized his view by stating that Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds. This concept is a form of basic income , where the Citizen s Dividend depends upon the value of natural resources or what could be titled as The commons common goods like seignorage , the electro magnetic spectrum, the industrial use of air CO math 2 math production , etc. The State of Alaska dispenses a form of citizen s dividend in its Alaska Permanent Fund Permanent Fund Dividend , which holds investments initially seeded by the state s revenue from mineral resources, particularly petroleum . In 2005, every eligible Alaskan resident including their children received a check for 845.76. Over the 24 year history of the fund, it has paid out a total of 24,775.45 to every resident.

The Single Tax League was an List of political parties in Australia Australian political party that flourished throughout the 1920s and 30s. Based upon the ideas of Henry George , who argued that all taxes should be abolished, save for a single tax on unimproved land values, the Single Tax League was founded shortly after World War I, and a newspaper, the People s Advocate was published. The League had pockets of support throughout Australia but none more than on the west coast of South Australia , whose farmers and graziers saw merit in Georgism single tax theory . The League s sole parliamentary representative was Edward Craigie , who was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly Electoral district of Flinders covering the League s west coast power base in 1930. The onset of the Great Depression in 1929 had led people to seek radical solutions and the manifesto of the League seemed as likely to solve their woes as any government devised plan. Craigie worked tirelessly to have a single tax system instituted in South Australia but faced stiff opposition from the conservative Liberal Federation and their successors, the Liberal and Country League , which despised the idea of a single tax, and the Australian Labor Party , which was opposed to the League s Free trade stance. Craigie was re elected at the 1933 and 1938 South Australian elections before being defeated at the 1941 election, when the ideas of the Single Tax League already seemed an anachronism to most people. The League did not field any further candidates and drifted into obscurity. References Plague on Both Your Houses Minor Parties in Australia , D. Jaensch & D. Mathieson, Allen & Unwin, Sydney 1999 .

The Henry George Theorem , named for 19th century U.S. political economist and activist Henry George , states that under certain ideal conditions, aggregate spending by government will be equal to aggregate rent based on land value Land economics land Economic rent rent . Although these conditions never obtain in reality, actual conditions are often close enough to the theoretical ideals that the great majority of government spending does indeed appear as increased land value. This general relationship, first noted by the French physiocrat s in the 18th century, is one basis for advocating the collection of a rent tax based on land values to help defray the public expenditures which created the land values in the first place. Henry George popularized this method of raising public revenue in his works, especially in the international bestseller, Progress and Poverty 1879 . More recent economists have discussed whether the theorem provides a practical guide for optimal population size of political entities. Mathematical treatments of the theorem suggest that an entity obtains optimal population when the opposing marginal cost s and marginal benefit s of additional residents are balanced.

refimprove date May 2008 Libertarianism sidebar Libertarian theories of law build upon liberalism classical liberalism classical liberal and individualist anarchism individualist anarchist doctrines. The defining characteristics of libertarian legal theory are its insistence that the amount of government intervention should be kept to a minimum and the primary functions of law should be enforcement of contracts and social order, though social order is often seen as a desirable side effect of a free market rather than a philosophical necessity. Historically, the Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek is the most important libertarian legal theorist. Another important predecessor was Lysander Spooner , a 19th century American individualist anarchist and lawyer. John Locke was also an influence on libertarian law theory see Two Treatises of Government . Ideas range from anarchocapitalism to a minarchism minimal state providing mere enforcement of contracts. Some advocate regulation, including the existence of a police force, military, public land, and public infrastructure. Geolibertarianism Geolibertarians oppose ownership of land on Georgism Georgist grounds.

Some seek to reduce the level of taxation of all people by the government. Some seek to make the tax system more less progressive tax progressive in its effect. Some seek to simplify the tax system. Some may be trying to make the tax system more understandable, or more accountable. Many organizations have been set up to reform tax systems worldwide, often with the intent to reform Income taxes or Value Added Tax es into something considered more Liberal theory of economics economically liberal . Other propose tax systems that attempt to deal with externality externalities . Georgism claims that various forms of land tax can both deal with externalities and improve productivity.

There have been many movements in the United States to reform the collection and management of taxes. As the United States was still being formed, the Whiskey Rebellion of 1799 may be considered to be the first effort for tax reform in the United States. President of the United States President George Washington led 12,950 troops to western Pennsylvania to put down the rebellion. During the late 19th century American economist, Henry George , started a global movement for tax reform whose aim was the abolition of all forms of taxation other than the Single Tax on land value. The effects of the movement on taxation policy, although diminished can still be seen in many parts of the world including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. Efforts to promote this form of tax reform in the United States continue under the aegis of organizations such as The Henry George Foundation of America . The President s ... more details

Elizabeth Lizzie J. Phillips n e Magie 1866&ndash 1948 was an American Game design Game designer game designer . She invented The Landlord s Game , the precursor to Monopoly game Monopoly . Early life Elizabeth Magie was born in Canton, Illinois in 1866, and later became a follower of the economist Henry George . Invention of Monopoly Magie first made the game, known as The Landlord s Game , popular with friends while living in Brentwood, Maryland , and sought her first patent on it while living there. On March 23, 1903, Magie applied to the US Patent Office for a patent on her board game, which was designed to demonstrate the economic ill effects of land monopolism and the use of land value tax as a remedy for them. She was granted US patent 748626 on January 5, 1904. In 1906, she moved to Chicago . That year, she and fellow Georgism Georgists formed the Economic Game Co. to self publish her original edition of The Landlord s Game . In 1910 she married Albert Phillips and Parker Brothers published her humorous card game Mock Trial . In 1912, The Landlord s Game was adapted in Scotland by the Newbie Game Co. as Bre r Fox and Bre r Rabbit . Although the instructions claimed it was protected by a British patent, there is no evidence this was actually done. She and her husband moved back to the East Coast and patented a revised version of the game in 1924 it received US patent 1509312 . As her original patent had expired in 1921, this is seen as her attempt to reassert control over her game, which was now being played at some colleges, where students made their own copies. In 1932, her second edition of The Landlord s Game was published by the Adgame Company of Washington D. C. , probably another self publishing effort. This version was two games in one, as there were alternate rules for a game called Prosperity . After a January 1936 interview with her appeared in a Washington D.

During the chorus, the phrase ballot in our hand is accompanied by the collective waving of any paper to hand usually a liberator song book by the audience. The Land Song is widely regarded as among the most rousing of political anthems. The former leader of the British Labour Party , Michael Foot , recalled to the BBC World Service how he heard and learned the song while growing up in a Liberal household in the west of England. Foot said it was the best political song he had come across, imbued with the democratic spirit, and designed to put fear in the hearts of the landlords. The song became a Liberal radical anthem in the aftermath of David Lloyd George s people s budget of 1909 which proposed a tax in land. During the two general elections of the following year, The Land Song became the governing Liberals campaign song.

It is a realty and taxation game, which is considered to be an indirect inspiration for the board game Monopoly game Monopoly . Though many similar home made games were played at the beginning of the 20th century and some predate The Landlord s Game , it is the first of its kind to have an attested patent. Magie designed the game to be a practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences . ref name singletax cite journal journal The Single Tax Review date Autumn 1902 ref She based the game on the economic principles of Georgism , a system proposed by Henry George , with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owner s and impoverish tenants. She knew that some people could find it hard to understand why this happened and what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might be easier to demonstrate. Magie also hoped that when played by children the game would provoke their natural suspicion of unfairness, and that they might carry this awareness into adulthood. ref name singletax Publication Although The Landlord s Game was patented, it was not taken up by a manufacturer until 1910, when it was published in the U.S. by the Economic Game Company of New York City New York .

The Scottish Land Restoration League was a Georgism Georgist political party in Scotland . In the 1880s, enclosure was still in process in the Scottish Highlands , and resistance to it often received support from radicals around Britain and Ireland. Branches of the Irish Land League , founded in 1879 to campaign against absentee landlord landlordism , had been set up in Scotland, but the League was wound up in 1883. In 1884, Henry George toured the Highlands and major cities of Scotland on the invitation of the English Land Reform Union . Touring with Edward McHugh , he spoke on his theory of land reform . The tour culminated with a large meeting Glasgow on 18 February 1884, chaired by John Murdoch . Almost 2,000 people signed up, on the initiative of Richard McGhee , to form an organisation to propagate and campaign for George s ideas. This group was formed as the Scottish Land Restoration League . William Forsyth politician William Forsyth became its first President, and McHugh its first Secretary. The group immediately spread to other cities around the nation. Among those who joined were many former members of the Land League. A second tour by George at the end of 1884 attracted less attention, and McHugh was accused of mismanaging its publicity. Already, the League was in decline, and when it stood five candidates in the UK general election, 1885 , they received a total of only 2,359 votes. http www.election.demon.co.uk geresults.html McGhee soon assumed the Presidency of the League.

File Thomas Paine.jpg thumb right Thomas Paine, 1792. Agrarian Justice is the title of a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine , published in 1797, which advocated the use of an estate tax and a Land Value Tax tax on land values to fund a universal old age and disability pension, as well as a fixed sum to be paid to all citizens on reaching maturity. This is similar to the later philosophy of Georgism . It was written in the winter of 1795 96, but remained unpublished for a year, Paine being undecided whether or not it would be best to wait until the end of the First Coalition ongoing war with France before publishing. However, having read a sermon by Richard Watson bishop Richard Watson , the Bishop of Llandaff , which discussed the Wisdom ... of God, in having made both Rich and Poor , he felt the need to publish, under the argument that rich and poor were arbitrary divisions, not divinely created ones. ref Author s preface.
