Understanding Single Land Value Tax (SLVT) reality underway, recent events, why sooner or later most countries will have SLVT, who are the losers and winners, and your opportunity to profit trough partnering with us.
Whether you understand or not, like or not, believe or not in meppin.org (SLVT) research and project, Land Value Tax (LVT) (Land in economics, includes all-natural resources), it’s a fact that already exist and works. The most common, it is todays real estate/property tax, taxed by most municipalities and some states. If already exist and works, it’s possible any time, that either LVT rate would rise highly or federal and state governments would tax them also or become a extreamely high single tax - SLVT. Every day in more countries, increases the number of politicians, organizations and citizens for support for higher LVT rate to substitute other taxes or SLVT. Recently in UK, many MPs and former PM Tony Blair are proposing LVT to substitute council tax. We are getting every day closer and closer for the federal government of the world’s first country to introduce Land Value Tax (LVT). Probably, UK would be the first big country. LVT success is already predicted by many economists. The first classical economists until todays economists, they wrote very extensively that LVT it’s very good for the economy and a lot of them argue that Single Land Value Tax (SLVT) it’s even better. I.e. the probability that SLVT would be an economic success and later LVT would transform in SLVT, it’s very big, thus breaking the biggest taboo in human behavior of owning land’s rental value. This success would cascade to other countries to follow, either if they want or not, because it would be the only option to continue being economic competitive. Unfortunately, the LVT implementation is coming because of many world’s problems is bring us to a situation that the only option left its LVT (as they tried other solutions), e.g. shortage in housing availability, decreasing house ownership, low wages, high cost of living, ninety-seven percent of world population, live in countries with government budget deficits, with most of these being greater than GDP and population growth. [Obs: This could be better? 97% of countries have government deficit], high public and private debt as percentage of GDP, depleted pension funds, slow growth, risk of rising interest rates etc. These problems are getting worse with the development of globalization, technology, blockchain technologies, aging population, Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) etc.
We created the www.meppin.org project with much in depth research and fundamentally based on all economic concepts previously written by most important economists, and we found evidences of much bigger benefit than previous LVT theories, plus we developed new strategies for SLVT implementation. This potentially speeds up the LVT/SLVT implementation in the first country very soon.
It is our estimation that any stable nation that implements an SLVT system will, within the first year of its introduction, show a:
-
10% increase in GDP;
-
30% increase in productive labor (Product Goods and Services) derived corporate/business revenues;
-
50% increase in government revenues;
-
50% increase in workers’ salaries;
-
50% reduction in unemployment, and
-
20% reduction in poverty
It is our further belief that this system would all but erase unemployment within five (5) years of implementation, and poverty within ten (10) years.
But there is the losers and winners from the transition to SLVT:
Losers: SLVT decreases significantly real estate, most financial assets value, increases some financial assets and interest rate. SLVT taxes directly real estate and indirectly financial assets as explained in our texts, (e.g. financial assets would be sold for production of Product and Goods and Services (PGS) because decrease in production cost and taxes thus increasing profits). Consequently, the Real Estate and Finance (REF) companies are in the loser’s side. They represent around 10% of the population and companies by numbers (not by revenue). From the other side, SLVT also benefits in long term the ‘’10% losers’’, because if this would occur for sure, sooner this transformation occurs, less loos and more gain even for the ‘’10% losers’’. Their loss would be less (because the amount of money would be less), after the transition they would increase yearly profits and removes the possibility for an economic crisis (because resources are spent on PGS, creates government and private surplus, and decreases deficit).
Winners: SLVT decrease taxes and production cost of Product, Goods and Services (PGS) thus increasing income. They represent around 90% of population and companies, plus government. Even those in the 90%, who holds some financial and land assets, since most of their income comes from PGS, the income increase would be greater than the loss in value of their financial and land assets. This also includes pensioners, that would receive a pension increase because of SLVT extra cost. But tech companies would profit even much more because they consume very little land and have big profits, thus paying much less taxes than before. The fifteen largest tech companies by revenue, have total revenue of 1.6 Trillion dollars. The twenty fourth largest companies by revenue (excluding six states own and five of commodities), 19 (80%) are in PGS with total revenue of 3.511 trillion dollars and five (20%) are in REF and insurance (FIRE).
The first organization we sent part of our work, they already answer to be interested in partnership. We would partner soon with a lot of organizations and UK MPs that already promotes LVT/SLVT. It exists more than 30 worldwide organizations. Here the list of organizations for LVT: http://www.c4ej.com https://www.hgfa.org.au/overseas-organisations http://ceihg.org/georgist_orgs.htm
UK MP’s political support for LVT: http://www.c4ej.com/political-support
Our first 70 pages of 160 pages, are already to read and have very powerful arguments, information, data, about gigantic number of SLVT benefits. As soon we would expose to the world, it would explode on the media and this it would immediately automatically, could make big changes in the economic system, creating market speculation decreasing value of real estate, most financial assets value and increase some financial assets, because of this new information that real estate can be heavily taxed and more competition coming for the private sector. We would use this market stipulation for faster SLVT implementation trough profiting from it and incentivizing everyone for a faster change. Also, we would have many who would eager to support and partner with our project, citizens, non-profit organizations, corporations, unions, chambers of commerce, political parties, and governments. According our research on the streets, either rich, poor, educated, non-educated, citizens understood very easily the advantages of SLVT, and some already told us they will consider selling their real estate and other won’t buy anymore real estate.
If you or your company are in the winner’s side, partner with our project so you speed up your profits increase.
If you or your company are in the looser side, partner with us as soon as possible and you or your company, will avoid big loses and earn big profits. If it’s done earlier, it may be possible to have government compensation for land value loss, but if later not. From the looser side very, few companies would have the opportunity to partner with us because if we publish too much, I would lose its effect, so don’t lose the opportunity!
As you learn more about this project, we’d like to hear from you and to discover how we can best develop the partnerships that will see this initiative through to success. If you or your organization are inclined toward such a partnership, we’ll be especially interested in hearing from you.
