Poll

Be sure and take the poll. Hint: the correct answer is not land value taxation. That is part of the beauty of land value taxation - it removes the burden of taxation from economic exchange. All other commonly used forms of taxation do hamper exchange. Hampering exchange is a bad thing. Our Founding Fathers had the right idea. The Constitution may have funded the federal government through tariffs and excise taxes, but the original Articles of Confederation did not. Be sure and check the link to "Saving Communities", which delves deeply into the original mechanism for funding the federal government and calls for a return to the "Founder's Plan".
