RE: It’s Time to Build a Society that Benefits Everyone - Not Just the Privileged Few!
Have you heard of Georgism? It seems like the Land Value Tax, while it wouldn't solve the problem entirely, would begin to put to distribution system on a fairer scale. Right now, we tax labor and consumption which impact the least the most; whereas, capital and land rent get off easier.
I haven't heard of it before. Please tell me more and post a link from a good source if you can. Thank you for contributing!
Here are two good links off the top of my head:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax
The best book on the subject is Henry George's Progress and Poverty. Here is a link to a PDF version:

Thank you. I've bookmarked and will read them shortly.
