Re: Nicolaus Tideman: Georgist Scammer

"Lack of factual or logical argument to that effect
noted. The fact that it is more economically
efficient to tax the economic rents of natural
resource because of their zero elasticity of supply is
well known to all competent economists (though
not, of course, to you) and is stated as established
fact in many standard textbooks on the subject."

Perhaps textbooks dated 1767. This is however the
year 2007. You Georgists have your heads buried
in the sand of pre-classical economics. NATURAL
RESOURCES INCLUDING LAND SIMPLY DO
NOT HAVE A ZERO ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY.
A three hundred foot by three hundred foot parcel
will remain three hundred feet by three hundred
feet, it is true, but the utility of that parcel will be
many times the utility of that same parcel a hundred
years ago, because of developing technology. We
may think merely of agricultural productivity as
well as the ability to build multi-story buildings.
This holds true for practically any conceivable use.
Which is what modern textbooks will illustrate, if
you would simply care to look.

"The document is widely available on the Net, well
known, as has been referred to numerous times in so
many other places that the signatories cannot
possibly be unaware of it. Yet which of the
signatories that you have contacted have disclaimed
their signatures?"

They are very likely not aware of it. The document
that is now "widely available" on the Net may or
may not be same document "published" in 1990,
nor have the same names attached to it. Widely
available means copied ad infinitum by Georgists
sites, one from the other, which are mostly ignored
by serious educated people. It is on its face bogus
because there is nothing in the writings of the Nobel
winners or several of the others, throughout their
professional careers, that expressed agreement with
the peculiar Georgist ideas expressed in the
document. I think in the beginning the concoction
was merely part of Tideman's scam to get money
out of the Georgists, to illustrate what a great job he
was doing for them. Over the years he's gotten
quite a bit of money from the Georgists.
