You should check out "Progress and Poverty" by Henry George, which makes the case for land value tax. Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, William F. Buckley, George Bernard Shaw, and Michael Hudson, theorists and experts from both sides, have advocated LVT. Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, the American Founding Fathers supported the idea, and the original U. S. Constitution (Articles of Confederation) would have made land value tax the only tax (no income tax, no tariffs, no corporate tax).
