As it is LAND Valuation Tax, the tax falls on the landowner only. If
you own no land you pay no tax. But you pay rent to a landowner.


So what about all those who own the freehold of their houses?


As Drivel seems to be a tenant, or possibly a guest in one of Her
Majesty's fine institutions, as far as he's concerned, the only
landowners are landlords, who take delight in screwing the most they can
out of their tenants. If you've worked hard all your life and bought
your own home instead of renting, then you are, by definition, a
scrounging, greedy leech and you deserve all you get.

He also misses the point that a land value tax, as well as the cost of
administering it, will be passed on to all tenants.
