Your facile politics of envy point has been answered in another thread. You must be getting desperate, raising it here as well. Big landowners wield power unjustly by being landlords. No landlord born ever made so much as one square foot of land. Well I suppose that the Dutch made some land by reclaiming it from the sea. I'd let them hang on to that. Landlords use their wealth to make (not earn) even more money by charging rent. Right-wing governments like landlords so much that they let them charge as much rent as they like unfettered. The rent is paid on houses and on land and the payers have little security of tenure. Tenant farmers have to do all the work but still pay rent to a landlord. Prince Charles makes millions out of his farms yet doesn't know the first thing about what farming really entails. Well he does wear green wellies, has a Harris Tweed jacket and plus-twos and rides a horse I suppose. He and his fellow landed gentry are parasites on their tenants. But I wouldn't dream of taking away their land. I'd make them pay such punitive taxes on excessive holdings that they'd voluntarily ditch most of their holdings. Land would become cheap and thousands of tenant farmers would be able to own their own holdings and plough the profits back into the land instead of into the pocket of some useless twerp who talks to his pot plants, believes in homeopathy and conducts symphonies to his bedroom mirror, oh, and shags his old flame the day before he marries his bride, tricking millions the world over into thinking he meant it. Anyway, I know you're loving this, so let me just tell you that I know this will not happen in this green and pleasant land. There is a place called cloud cuckoo land. I can but dream.
