About the Director

Welcome!

We are a branch of a nonprofit foundation, the Center for a Better Economy, which has had hands-on experience with a simple property-tax reform that costs almost nothing to implement, but which can:

  1. raise all the revenue you need 
  2. tax most people less than any other tax you can levy
  3. actually benefit your economy. 

If this sounds too good to be true, then be sure to read some of the links on the left.  Also, order a report (cost $12) with summaries of each of 237 empirical studies showing that this has already been done successfully in actual applications.  Or you can get a report summarizing each of a representative 22 of these empirical studies (free).  What more evidence can you ask for?  Tax suffering isn't inevitable.     

We have come across absolutely no empirical studies which contradict these three advantages.  Literally dozens of localities in the world (22 in the U.S.) have instituted this tax and ALL U.S. empirical studies indicate economic success. Repeat: ALL empirical studies indicate economic success.  

This tax has been endorsed by literally hundreds of experts, including eight American winners of the Nobel Prize in economics.  See the "Endorsements" link on the left.  

This tax can be instituted by any level of government - city, county, school and other districts, state or federal.  Again, judge its applicability to your locality only after you have read some of the links. 

We suggest that you start with the link entitled The Proposal, which fully describes this tax (it has nothing to do with gambling, liquor, fines, or anything illicit). You'll find this link to be an eye-opener, describing a huge largely-untapped source of revenue that can actually improve your jurisdiction's economy.  It has already done so for other jurisdictions.  It can do so for yours.

There is a new book on this subject - THE GOLDEN KEY TO CONTINUOUS PROSPERITY (How to Vote Yourself a Tax Break).  Click on the title to read all about it.  Highly recommended if you want the complete story, interestingly presented.
