I recommend a deferment option. <br /><br />As to 1, 2 and 3, <br />1 is a fallacy, <br />2 I don't understand and <br />3 is a brilliant idea, it would wind up the Daily Mailexpressgraph no end if they were given a taste of the medicine they love handing out to the young. Make the pension conditional on e.g. baby sitting your grandchildren, tidying up the park etc.<br /><br />BJ: <i>"A larger market/network increases productivity which increases aggregate demand. Which both the owners of land and suppliers of capital try to tap into."</i><br /><br />The former more successfully that the latter!<br /><br />R: <i>"The broadcast spectrum has value because of radio tech. Land is just a fixed natural resource"</i><br /><br />Radio spectrum IS land for these purposes!!<br /><br />Technology increases land values in exactly the same way - for example the lift, which enables you to squeeze ten time as much building onto a plot and hence making it worth (potentially) ten times as much.<br /><br />S, yes, but it's always cold up there. The south eastern tip of the British Isles is the most bearable, weather wise.<br /><br />L, the plan is for state pensioners to get a 'Citizen's Pension' of around £150 a week, which is what the Lib-Cons promised would happen but I don't think it has yet. Wimps. The working age Citizen's Income for the time being would be £73 a week.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-36604376164423891422015-03-31T05:44:33.150+01:002015-03-31T05:44:33.150+01:00@R

A ot of these are state employees able to take advantage of their generally generous pension schemes - police and firepersons for example.<br />OTH if anyone has saved and invested diligently and has generated sufficient cash capital to fund 'not working', then what's wrong with that.<br />The old saw of aged job blockers is a fallacy. One reason is experience.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586735342675041312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-34896861506574379452015-03-31T01:14:29.281+01:002015-03-31T01:14:29.281+01:00Thank goodness I live in rural Scotland.Thank goodness I live in rural Scotland.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-56465792465359202622015-03-31T01:11:30.059+01:002015-03-31T01:11:30.059+01:00Do the suppliers of capital generate land values?
...Do the suppliers of capital generate land values?<br />An awesome beach may make a house (land/location under it) worth more, do the owners of capital create it? So yes and no, although mostly yes.<br />The broadcast spectrum has value because of radio tech. Land is just a fixed natural resource<br />Geographical locations still has value in non-capitalist economies though.<br />Commies argue that labour creates all value. They advocate nationalising both capital and land.Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445772572707818311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-64439944204795621262015-03-31T00:46:34.901+01:002015-03-31T00:46:34.901+01:00It's an interesting one.....
Do the suppliers...It's an interesting one.....<br /><br />Do the suppliers of capital generate land values?<br /><br />Shift demand yes, generate land values perhaps not.<br /><br />I think Says Law states that supply creates it's own demand. <br /><br />But I think this is bullshit.<br /><br />A larger market/network increases productivity which increases aggregate demand.<br /><br />Which both the owners of land and suppliers of capital try to tap into.<br /><br />The difference being that capitalists produce wealth, and landowners merely transfer it. <br /><br />benjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544297406005346095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-24455377198599965372015-03-30T22:33:26.908+01:002015-03-30T22:33:26.908+01:00Mark, I have been thinking about the pensioner exe...Mark, I have been thinking about the pensioner exemption, I don't think it is a good idea to appease the homeownerists. Inequality amongst pensioners is high and a lot of it is down to property ownership (or non ownership.) This would make things worse.<br />I think a better idea would be to use the LVT to double the state pension. Then go on about how it is stingy, effect of homeownerism on children, etc...<br />I also think lowering the retirement age would be a good idea because:<br />1. It would free up a lot of jobs for younger people. If a young person is doing a job instead of an elderly person they gain skills.<br />2. A lot of people retire early, show how this is a "ripoff."<br />3. You could have a pension paid for "useful work" or "community work." Pensioners don't lose contact with community and the e.g. health problems retirement brings.<br />It is one of the few things that would help young people elderly people might support.<br />You could show how moving out of London could be a good thing and have a lot of cash to buy a cheaper place.<br />We need to change mindset from fixed pie, me vs others, to win-win, make the pie bigger.<br />Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445772572707818311noreply@blogger.com
