    Gift cards are cheaper than cash. Many places will give you a bonus gift card for purchasing a large gift card, or give you one at higher-than-cash value for trade-ins.

    There's a lot more to Georgism than the LVT, and some of it is unpalatable; or at least, antithetical to the American Dream and so essentially a non-starter in the Western Hemisphere.

    I would love LVT, myself, and think it's achievable. The rest of it, no.

  • What would be a fair wage for the work you do? An actual dollar amount.

    I already give 100% effort at work. I make an average of $37.50/hr, waiting tables. I wouldn't accept less than $35 as a straight wage if I were to forgo tips.
