I'm not advocating any specific plan and I find Georgism to be worth a new look and calls for a LVT to be compelling, I'm just saying that I think those who focus solely on it, some of whom advocate abolishing all taxes and only using an LVT, to be impractically utopian.

That said, I see no reason as to why we shouldn't at least experiment with other alternate tax regimen as well, and that may include tax savings at least for the highest earners. To echo others' statements, why shouldn't those at the absolute highest levels of savings endure a little redistribution? It wouldn't matter much to Bezos.
