Editing Land value tax (section)

===Radical Movement===
A participant in the [[Radicalism (historical)|Radical Movement]], [[Thomas Paine]] contended in his ''[[Agrarian Justice]]'' pamphlet that all citizens should be paid 15 [[Pound sterling|pounds]] at age 21 "as a compensation in part for the loss of his or her natural inheritance by the introduction of the system of landed property." "Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.constitution.org/tp/agjustice.htm|access-date=23 December 2012|publisher=Constitution Society|last=Paine|first=Thomas|title=Agrarian Justice}}</ref> This proposal was the origin of the [[citizen's dividend]] advocated by [[Geolibertarianism]]. [[Thomas Spence]] advocated a similar proposal except that the land rent would be distributed equally each year regardless of age.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thomas-spence-society.co.uk/4.html |access-date=23 December 2012 |publisher=The Thomas Spence Society |last=Spence |first=Thomas |title=The Rights of Infants |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130321041404/http://thomas-spence-society.co.uk/4.html |archive-date=21 March 2013 }}</ref>
