The United Freedom Nation
The United Freedom Nation is an island located off of the North Pacific Ocean. The population is roughly 25 million. The most prominent language is English because we are neighbours with North American countries. As a result of the country being new, many people want to immigrate there for a better life and various job opportunities. The rapid growth of U.N.F now calls for development in its governmental system in order to serve the people efficiently.
“It is not the function of the government to stop the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error”(Jackson, 1945). The …show more content…
George thought that all of us were equally entitled to that which God or nature provided, and that which is created by the community, as opposed to that which is created by individual (or corporate) activity, which he thought should be 100% privatized. I believe that this is the way to go as it starts everyone off pretty equally as well as leave people with more money in their pockets as they are only paying to work the land. According to Dollars & Sense: “George argued that the single-tax program would boost the economy. A sound economic system encourages both work and capital investment, so governments should avoid taxing labor income or returns on capital. At the same time, a productive system discourages rentier behavior holding onto resources like land, living off of rents or waiting for speculation to raise land prices. With a high property tax, he believed, land will tend to end up in the hands of those who can make it most productive” (Gluckman, 2006). I truly believe this conservative approach of lower taxes will give the people more “bang for their buck” and although people maintain control over their finances, the government still earns a considerable amount of money from it so there is a compromise rather than everything being in Anarchy, however we must remember everything is for the good of the people and that must always come first. Capitalism is a type of economic system. Under capitalism companies and markets are not directed by the government. Instead they are privately controlled and companies typically operate to maximize their own profits. The history of the twentieth century would clearly suggest that this form of organizing the economy is the best overall for raising the average income of people. The single tax theory encourages capitalism
