DESCRIPTION:What if the corporations were abolished, and the income tax raised to 100% 
 on income above $150,000, and the income tax on wages below $40,000 lowered 
 to zero, and the capital gains tax raised to 60%, and the sales tax lowered 
 to 0% on everything except luxury items such as yachts?\n\nWould that make 
 you happy?\n\nBut what if, after all that, there remained private income 
 from mere ownership of parts of the earth, such as the land of San 
 Francisco? That would be tantamount to share-cropping the earth, and all 
 the gains to the masses indicated by the economic proposals of the first 
 paragraph\nwould certainly mean that the masses would still compete for 
 preferred locations with their increased income (increased because of no 
 income tax on lower incomes, and the higher zone income taxes paying for 
 public transportation, for instance).\n\nCome along on a walking tour of 
 downtown San Francisco that exposes how most every liberal-left-socialist 
 economic agenda merely keeps heaping land values into the pockets of 
 private interests. Or, if the socialist agenda is extended to government 
 ownership of land, come along on this walking tour to see how the failure 
 to use market forces to identify land values and tax those, results in 
 corruption of government by special interests exerting effort to gain 
 privileged access to "location, location, location" without having to pay 
 for it. All former more thorough-going attempts at Socialism bear witness 
 to that  species of corruption and attendant abysmal environmental 
 policy.\n\nThis walk reveals the insidious agenda of the opponents of city 
 ballot measures I and F, while at the same time exposing the hapless 
 program of the these measures' advocates.\n\nAnd yes, a positive proposal 
 is introduced in the course of the walk.\n
