We are searching for the top “political” objection/problem to implementing Georgist Land Value Tax (LVT) policy in the US.

 

Perhaps it is special interest groups, such as real estate associations. Perhaps it is economists who say appropriate land values can’t be figured out. Perhaps it is simply inertia.

 

You may believe this top political problem may or may not be overcome, that is irrelevant. The goal is to find what politicians will be inclined to think, or problems they may face, when considering implementation of Georgist LVT policies in the US. Georgists can then focus on solutions and messaging.

 

There are separate markets for the top “real” Georgist problems and the top “perceived” problems.

Resolution:

This market will resolve by the earlier of the close date or when 25 unique traders have bought positions. Bots excluded. This is a short-term market. I will open a subsequent market out a longer period with a higher minimum threshold of unique traders if this gets activity.

 

I will manually count unique traders, and everyone gets one vote based on your very first buy. The vote is not weighted by Mana, just one vote per trader. If we exceed 25 traders before I notice and close, I will still count all unique traders.
