Upton Sinclair
Interesting post at the Southern California Real Estate Bubble Blog. Catchy title.
Most of his rhetorical points can be found in the archives of this blog, if you were looking for answers.
The author hits on a number of points that I agree with. Namely, how this (and other laws like it) are mere instruments used by the landowning class to consolidate their power. That the landowning classes convince, with relative ease, the poorer classes that it is in their best interests to go along with such a scheme. That any tax on land will cause land to be used more efficiently and cause land to be distributed more equitably.
There are a few minor points that I disagree with Sinclare on, but the major premise of his witting I agree with.
