Hi Andrew,
What the 'tell' is in the truth of this scenario, is your closing comment that
it is economic policies that enables and facilitates the alienation of
populations from having access to land while at the same time dispossessing
wages from labour by taxation.
Wages are taxed to prevent the population from having the means to defend
against the pricing of land.
Know that it is economics that sits at the head of the arbitration table and it
is that head that must be severed from community input if society is to achieve
any form of redress into the foreseeable future.
Economics is the tool of despotic forces who symbiotically align to redirect
the wealth from the producer to those who argue a claim by financial
instruments of double accounting, imputations, derivatives, pricing transfer,
exemptions, thresholds, differential practices etc. Economics is not the tool
to achieve the equality of opportunity for everyone in perpetuity forever,
without poverty, or universal access to land or of freedom from hunger. This
is because there is a common thread to all economic theories exemplifying the
reason why all economic theories are counter-social and monopoliconomy in
design. That is they all tax. Taxation is the instrument to disposes the
wealth from the produces to the extent that bankruptcy is inevitable to those
who speculate on that, which is the static factor of production. That being
land.
It is not that speculation in and of itself and any other form of market
practice is unjust or counter to the interests of the commons. Whether illegal
or not. It is that price in the location is the negligence of the duty of
government. government exists, necessarily, for the existence of the right, to
access that which others would possess in title, who are therefore
beneficiaries from I and my neighbours existence. The truth of that statement
can be found by the location, in situ of proximity to services and facilities
of every church. Who then historically go on to prevent the adoption of what I
herein am proclaiming
It is the application of labour on land that results in wealth and when that
wealth is used to make more wealth it then transforms to capital as a
consequence of the increase in utility. The returns in this process of rent,
wages and interest in a site revenue society requires only basic arithmetic
skills to enable society to maintain the universal function of government. And
that is to govern the land and not the people on it. So accordingly that must
be the source from which the government in what ever form it is, derives its
sole source of revenue. In so doing, the occurrence of conflict on land and
the extraction of resources that land contains is nullified. While at the same
time land price and taxation are absent, and public revenue is secured.
Economics is not the means to do this. Rent as Revenue is and it starts with
your municipal council reverting to site value rating.

Subject: US Is an Oligarchy Not a Democracy, says Scientific Study
https://www.commondreams.org/view/2014/04/14
"To put it short: The United States is no democracy, but actually an
oligarchy."
An interesting study. The Australian government also seems to be
heading in this direction, unfortunately.
Via Maya Posch, who added:
"Princeton University and Northwestern University researchers have
concluded based upon analysis of 1,779 policy issues that the U.S. is in
reality an oligarchy and not a democracy, as often claimed.
An oligarchy is a political system in which a small elite determines all
policies and makes any and all decisions. This elite can be
distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, or
military control.
<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy>
What makes the US into an oligarchy is that an individual American has a
completely negligible effect on any decisions made by the US government,
ergo said individual is completely at the whim of this elite. The
destruction of the middle class in the US through economic policies is
another indication of this."
