Well said. I've been saying it for years. We tax people's efforts and still expect them to be enthusiastic about work. We allow major landowners, who did not make the land, and who have inherited that land from ancestors who stole it from ordinary people, to make fortunes out of their holdings and wield inordinate power. A graduated land value tax (taking land quality and size of holding into account) would be just, and it might even get some of the landed gentry to offload some of their holdings in a hurry. Just think. Much smaller parcels of land would be much better looked after, as you'd have to do that to make a living. There would be far more diversity and the more intensive husbandry would mean more rural employment and a far better environment. Anyone objecting to this would need forcibly reminding that agriculture in the UK contributes a pathetic 0.75% of GDP. We don't need all these agribusiness moguls anywhere near as much as we, or they, think. They are a blight on the nation, frankly.
