I'll believe it when he institutes a national Land Value Tax


As the only tax without deadweight loss, a LVT is fundamentally different from a tariff. And in fact the devastating economic effects of tariffs are one of the primary reasons the LVT gained traction a bit more than a century ago.


No constitutional basis at the federal level, and ad valorem taxation is already implemented at the state level (as a pragmatic approach, without being rooted in incoherent ideologies like Georgism).
