I agree they shouldn’t get any special treatment, but the moral solution is to give everyone else tax-exempt status.
NO
yes
Then why are you advocating for more taxation?

You do you but I don’t believe any taxation is moral.
yes it is
it's voluntary taxation
as a donation
just 10% on spending
like tips
like church tithing
instead of donating your tithe to the church, you donate to BITCOIN BANK
what do you allocate your tithe?
minimum 10% but you can donate more if you want
applies especially to philanthropy
You said it was voluntary but then you say minimum 10%. That is not voluntary.
look @jack
he donated almost 30% of his wealth
open transparent everything
That’s great but donation is different than taxation.
Ok taxation is great if you redefine what the word means. I also support rape as long as we can redefine the word rape to mean consensual sex.
taxation = donation at BITCOIN BANK

the moral case for separating the return on natural resources from that on other assets is that the former pre-exist human efforts
their value depends on human input. not on their owners
city land values rise over time due to community efforts and public investment benefiting landowners without their effort
imaging you bought your home 50 years ago in SF
your home is worth much more now
not because of anything you did
it’s the result of the efforts of all those who contributed to making SF richer. including (of course) the public at large through their taxes
taxing land rent is crucial as credit fuels land ownership, turning rents into unproductive debt and risky bubbles
raising land tax to 5.55% while cutting capital and labor taxes could boost output 15%
tax unearned land rent more. work and capital less
problem: the political power of landowners
solution: BITCOIN BANK
true progress means lifting everyone-losers compensated. winners multiplied
few policies can achieve this
let's be brave and do it
How does any of this justify the morality of taxation? Taxation is still theft.

I still don’t understand how that gives humans the right to steal from other humans.
taxes as a donation are not theft
voluntary taxation
why do philanthropists do philanthropy?
We are going in circles. You cannot just change the meaning of words. If we are talking about something voluntary, we are talking about a donation, not a tax. In which case I agree with you, government should be funded 100% voluntarily. If we are talking about mandatory taxation, you cannot use the word voluntary. Either use the words in ways that make sense, or we cannot have a rational discussion. Saying nonsense and then linking long form articles that do not explain what you are saying is not a rational discussion.

I did. It describes a system of taxation where you choose how much tax to pay, and then you are forced to sell your property. if you choose not to pay you lose your property.
Doesn’t sound voluntary to me.
How is this enforced? Via the violence of the state?

No thanks but good luck to you and your taxes. I will continue to advocate for voluntarism.
i advocate for voluntaryism
voluntaryism
You are confused. You want “voluntaryism” enforced by mandatory taxation, property confiscation, an international police force, and state violence.
NO
voluntaryism =
natural rights. equality. non-coercion. non-aggression
