Should there be a limit on land holdings? Per person\family?
jehova · 31-35, M
21.645 million acres owned by 25 families. There are 2.26 billion acres including waterways and bodies of water in the entire United States therefore .021645\2.2645= .0095576%
Although there are 6.7 acres per person that exist in the United States. Given a population of 340 million, exactly equal ownership would be 6.7 acres per person. 25 families own .01% of the entire united states, which is roughly 100 million acres each versus the 6.7 acres per person option. That Sounds like landed gentry to me. Or is it land barons?
Either way equal access is being commodified.
The exact thing America was intended to avoid.

@AthrillatheHunt definitely a concern the citizens claim to be opposed to government control yet the federal government owns nearly 1\3rd of the US's land area? Something aint right. Also if the fed owns 30% that means of the remaining 70% 1.4% is owned by 100 people.

So the holding of the Emmerson family might actually be related to their business. But why does a telecomms person need over 2 million acres?

@SunshineGirl thats precisely what im trying to say. Then to add insult to the disadvantaged position every working age individual is in. The established money hoarding families\people dont pay anywhere near a fair share of their exploitive earnings. If a flat tax were administered, which most of the western world EU and Canada do; most of the inequalities in society would balance.
Plus imagine how much less violent there would be if America actually paid its debt? And stopped buying and distributing weapons?
Unfathomable!
