DESCRIPTION:Nobody likes taxes\, but we gotta pay for some stuff\, so we sh
 ould tax in the least destructive way we can. Turns out\, land has this ne
 at property where we can't really create it or destroy it\, so it's almost
  immune to distortionary taxes. Plus\, land has this ugly tendency to get 
 hoarded and milked as a source of income for people who don't actually con
 tribute anything to society. Plus plus\, because of the eccentricities of 
 how land works\, you can tax land a fair amount before landlords can pass 
 those costs on to land users. So\, we can cut a bunch of bad taxes\, like 
 income tax and sales tax\, replace them with a tax on unearned income from
  land\, and make almost everybody better off!\nI will present some steps h
 ow to construct policies get around the `limitations` of the existing Germ
 an tax codes and existing redistribution mechanisms between municipal\, fe
 deral and national budgets.
