	FSTC History
		The single tax is based upon the obvious conclusion that all men are common heirs to the earth upon which they must live, and from which, by their labor, they must extract everything that ministers to their continued existence and the satisfaction of their ever-expanding ambitions and desires.
		Tax income of government, dependent in large part on production and distribution, is decreased; and the country finds itself in the grips of a recession or a full-fledged depression.
		Under the single tax, the government, not the land holder, is entitled to that portion that is now paid to the so-called "owners" of land as rent.

	Archive \| December 25, 2000 \| One single, simple tax
		Tax simplification reduces the burdens of tax compliance, reduces the silly decisions that tax breaks produce, and reduces the additional risk added to investments of money, thought, and time when the rules of taxation are needlessly complex and constantly changing.
		Tax simplification is part of a greater argument for simplification of law and regulation, an argument are based upon the premise that predictability increases compliance, respect, efficiency, and a perceived common investment by many members of society.
		States should be given the option of repealing all state taxes and receiving a percentage of the overall tax raised by the federal government from that tax, or maintaining their existing tax systems and receiving none of this revenue.

	TCS Daily - Toward a Single-Digit Tax Rate
		What I propose is that we adopt a value-added tax (VAT), also known as a consumption tax, in addition to the other taxes, while adopting a rule that says no single tax may have a double-digit marginal rate.
		As it stands now, the social cost of the corporate income tax (including compliance costs, the costs of rent-seeking as K Street lawyers lobby for exemptions, and the costs of economic distortions) exceed the revenue that it brings in, which is why it is reasonable for economists to support abolishing the corporate income tax altogether.
		My hypothesis is that with a tax rate of 8 percent, the K street rent-seeking would diminish sharply, compliance costs would decline because of reduced complexity as well as reduced incentives to dodge the tax, and the economic distortions would be reduced as well.

	Nancy T. Wolfe / The Single-Tax Campaign in Delaware 1895-96
		When the revenue increased sufficiently, the taxes and poll taxes for state purposes were abolished, leaving these sources of revenue to the counties."[5] Aware of dissatisfaction with this system, the legislature had in 1893 appointed a commission to develop recommendations for improvements.
		This was the slogan under which the army of Single Taxers moved, and their massage had two basic tenets - that the land was provided by God for the use of all men equally, and that a tax based on the value of the land alone was the only equitable tax.
		Patiently the Single Taxers explained time and again their belief that each man was entitled to the full profit of the product of his own creativity and labor and that these should not be taxed.

	Robert Schalkenbach Foundation
		Nor is it a tax on land, for we would not tax all land, but only land having a value irrespective of its improvements, and would tax that in proportion to that value.
		These taxes necessarily fall on the poor more heavily than on the rich; by increasing prices, they necessitate a larger capital in all businesses, and consequently give an advantage to large capitals; and they give, and in some cases are designed to give, special advantage and monopolies to combinations and trusts.
		The tax we would increase would destroy that monopoly of land which is the great cause of that distribution of population which is crowding the people too closely together in some places and scattering them too far apart in other places.

		Single business tax receipts comprised about 9 percent of all state tax revenue when the levy went into effect, rose to a high of 17.5 percent in 1988, and now are back to 9 percent.
		Unemployment insurance taxes are paid by almost all businesses that (1) employ one or more employees in any 20 given weeks in a calendar year or (2) in a calendar year paid $41,000 or more in payroll to employees covered by unemployment insurance.
		For 2001 tax rates may range from 0.1 percent (for businesses that have had no layoffs in the last seven years and an adequate reserve in their account) to 8.1 percent (for firms with high layoffs and little or no reserve).

	McMillan - Alberta's Single Tax Rate
		The reforms were driven by concern for rising income tax burdens due to inadequate adjustments for inflation under the federal system, the tax burden of single-earner families, and high tax rates.
		Replacing the positive rates with a single rate of 11% means that those in the lowest bracket with taxable income will face a higher tax rate, those in the highest bracket a lower tax rate and those in the middle will see no real change.
		If the change to a single rate was not accompanied by a tax reduction (i.e., was revenue natural), taxpayers with $40,000 of taxable income might experience about a 20 percent increase in income taxes while those with $200,000 income could realize a 20 percent reduction.

	Twice-Single Tax single tax reform Henry George (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		George also explained that the tax on land rent is different from other taxes in that it is a payment for the services attached to territory, whereas taxes on income, sales, and goods have little relationship to government services.
		Therefore, the single tax is single in being a single payment for government services, rather than the double payment that takes place when wages and profits are taxed.
		A tax only on rent is a twice-single tax, single in terms of there being only one type of tax and single in being only one payment for government services.

		In practice that implies a high land value tax (LVT), although no change in land rental prices (other than those caused by reduction of other taxes and regulations) for reasons first explained by Adam Smith.
		These terms reflect a difference of emphasis, and sometimes real differences about how land rent should be spent (citizen's dividend or just replacing other taxes); but all agree that land rent should be fully taxed.
		George's ideas were also predated by traditional land taxes in Japan and other countries.

	Henry George / The Single Tax What It Is and Why We Urge It
		We propose to abolish all taxes save one single tax levied on the value of land, irrespective of the value of the improvements in or on it.
		It would dispense with a whole army of tax gatherers and other officials which present taxes require, and place in the treasury a much larger portion of what is taken from people, while by making government simpler and cheaper, it would tend to make it purer.
		These taxes necessarily fall on the poor more heavily than on the rich; by increasing prices, they necessitate a larger capital in all businesses, and consequently give an ad- vantage to large capitals; and they give, and in some cases are designed to give, special advantage and monopolies to combinations and trusts.

		And then, as you said, have a generous exemption for the poor, allow for the deductibility of the payroll tax and leave in the interest on a mortgage if the financial institution pays tax on the interest of the mortgage--that they earn from the mortgage--the homeowner can deduct the mortgage, leaving charitable contributions.
		Those are recognized in the models that people use to calculate what--the revenue impact, but to suggest that somehow we can have tax cuts on the rich that pay for themselves so we don't have to raise taxes on middle income families, that just goes against all of our history.

	Henry George and the Single Tax
		The "Single Taxers," as his followers came to be called, chose Delaware because of its small size and its close proximity to Philadelphia and New York, where the largest Georgist movements flourished.
		Through their efforts the single tax was hardly ever allowed to be implemented at a local level, and certainly never at the state or federal level.
		If a land-valued tax is to be implemented in the city, then a higher tax rate is needed to generate the same or greater revenue.

	Tax Reform
		Under the current tax system, a housewife can enter the labor market in a minimum-wage job and be taxed at a 40 percent marginal tax rate because of her husband's earnings.
		Because there is only one tax rate, because the only exemption is a personal allowance and because all income is taxed only once, the flat tax removes distortions of the current tax system that prevent resources from being allocated to their highest valued use.
		Since the excess burden is part of the tax burden, it stands to reason that to the extent there are economic and political limits to taxation they apply to the total cost of the tax system, including the excess burden.

	Filing Status, IRS and Tax
		As a widow or widower, you may file a joint tax return with your deceased spouse for the tax year in which he or she died, provided that you do not remarry within that tax year.
		Because medical expenses are tax deductible to the extent that they exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income (AGI), one spouse may be able to make better use of itemized deductions on a separate tax return, where the AGI may be considerably lower than if a joint tax return is filed.
		You may choose to file your tax return as a Head of Household if you are not married (as of December 31, 2004) and have at least one child or relative who can be claimed as a dependent on your tax return.

	The Tax Foundation - The Case for a Single-Rate Tax: Why Our Progressive Tax Code is Inconsistent with the Changing ...
		A majority of American adults believe federal taxes are too high, the tax code is too complex, and the income tax system is unfair.
		These families are taxed at the highest income tax rates because our progressive tax rate system is not fully adjusted for such things as cost of living, age, education, or the number of incomes in a household.
		Such a tax should be set a low rate, applied to a broad base, and have as few deductions as is politically possible.

	Tax Policy Center \| Publications
		Unlike single tax filers, heads of household are often eligible for significant tax benefits that can be penalized away by marriage.
		A couple's total penalty or subsidy reflects the combined impact of all provisions that force some of the couple's income—whether from earnings or tax benefits—to be taxed at a different rate once they marry.
		This outcome occurs because the new law doubles the size of the standard deduction, the width of the 10 percent bracket, and the width of the 15 percent bracket for married filers versus single filers.

		It would get rid of taxes which necessarily promote fraud, perjury, bribery, and corruption, which lead men into temptation, and which tax what the nation can least afford to spare--honesty and conscience.
		On the other hand, the insufficient taxation of land values enables men to make large fortunes by land speculation and the increase of ground values--fortunes which do not represent any addition by them to the general wealth of the community, but merely the appropriation by some of what the labor of others creates.
		Thus we have scores of families living under a single roof, and other families living in dugouts on the prairies afar from neighbors--some living too close to each other for moral, mental, or physical health, and others too far separated for the stimulating and refining influences of society.

	EconLog, Single Tax Rate, Arnold Kling: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Alan Reynolds argues that many problems with tax systems go away if you use a single tax rate.
		Income originating in business (and used to pay interest and dividends to investors) can be taxed at the business source, rather than distributed to individuals and taxed at different rates depending on what their annual salaries happen to be that year.
		While that's good news for CPAs and tax lawyers, I believe that a broad overhaul of the tax system would be the only way to produce meaningful reform.
