"Henry George was very popular in his time, and still revered by flat-tax advocates; but the essence of the Single Tax On Land is false,
in that landowners will always shift the burden of that tax to tenants." ~~ G.E. Nordell
"Men like Henry George [the pioneer of land value taxation] are rare, unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination "He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it."
"Charity is false, futile, and poisonous when offered as a substitute for justice."
"Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over."
— Henry George [1839-97]
of intellectual keenness, artistic form, and fervent love of justice." ~~ Albert Einstein
