That is basically removing property rights, when the land is not yours but you just rent it ... you will own nothing and be happy.

You didn’t make the land (nobody did). LVT is the “least bad” tax because in an LVT-exclusive system you are not taxed on your labor, your inventions, or your possessions. You’re only taxed for your exclusive use of a common resource (land).

You may be opposed to all taxes, but if you acknowledge the need for some kind of tax, it at least has some kind of rational and seemingly fair justification.
