DESCRIPTION:Land values equal community. If that rings true to you, join in this 
 teach-in led by successful playwright, land economist, and living proof 
 that "land rent owners win" David Giesen as he lays out the social, 
 political, and economic dynamic that constitutes Trumpism. \n\nTrump has 
 made his fortune on the strength of low taxes on land values. He's a second 
 or third-rate business man with money to burn that comes from land value 
 rents.\n\nWhen land values are collected for public purposes, Trumpism 
 fails. However, far too many well-intentioned social justice advocates, 
 much less the typical voter, don't push for socializing land values via a 
 modified property tax. Instead, Trump is denounced, rich people are 
 excoriated, business-incentives are emasculated, sales taxes are resorted 
 to, building developers are lambasted, poor-me-ism burgeons, piddly renter 
 rights legislation gets promoted, and on and on. Meanwhile, the spirit and 
 effect of Trumpism sails on. \n\nTrumpism? It's simply the normative 
 expectation that private parties deserve a good deal of, if not a 
 whalloping amount of, the value of location. Low property taxes are the 
 mechanism of Trumpism. And, remarkably, most of the liberal and moderate 
 Democrats who wouldn't consider voting for Trump are, nonetheless, 
 practitioners  or would-be practitioners of Trumpism!\n\nThis is it. It's 
 THE workshop on Trumpism. There's no substitute for dashing your loosely or 
 closely held notions about what justice is. If they don't address Trumpism, 
 your notions are anti-historic, self-abasing, community-denying nonsense. 
 Land values = community.\n
