I have a lot of fans of Georgism / Harberger taxation in my life; naively requesting balance: what are the most interesting arguments against such property taxation schemes? n.b. Practical arguments like "people don't like it" or "it's politically impossible" aren't interesting!

against harberger; if you’re hated, you will literally have to pay higher taxes to avoid having trolls crowdfund the repossession of ur house 🙃

No, earnest delight! I mean, obviously it's a problem. But it is indeed an *interesting* argument! :)

Ah, yes, to clarify: I am delighted by the argument and horrified by its consequences. :)
Lol, the first thing this made me think of is that you could parlay being a troll into a successful real estate business... As long as you can get people to bid, say, 10% above market for your houses on a sustained basis... ;)
