DESCRIPTION:Ah, student debt. A cynical way to ensure that our children, now young 
 adults, understand their debt to society. \n\nWhat if, instead, we 
 recognized as the Morrill Land Grant Act and Homestead Act of the 1860s 
 recognized, that a place to live, work and play is the foundation for a 
 free and productive citizenry. The Morrill Land Grant Act meant to ensure 
 that higher education was funded out of land values.\n\nBernie Sanders 
 spoke of debt-free public higher education. Jeremy Corbyn of the UK's 
 Labour Party speaks of it too, and he, at least, has proposed a way to pay 
 for it. The Land Value Tax (LVT). If you own land which you necessarily are 
 borrowing the use of from the nation, you should pay the nation, not 
 private parties, for that use. That's Corbyn's plan. It could be Sanders' 
 plan too if you'd push for it. To understand that tax, come along on a 
 walking tour surveying San Francisco social movement history, highlighting 
 LVT's intellectual debut in San Francisco back in the 1870s.\n\nGet up, 
 stand up . . . or sleep in.\n
