   Sales tax would be taxing at full rental value.  Because you'd be taxing   
   the rental of it.  If they don't rent they lose the potential money and   
   in a market based free economy you can't afford to keep a property that   
   has value unless you have other sources of income and even then let the   
   land set idle is a rich man's game since a poor man needs to use   
   everything he has to maintain his life style.   
      
   SO a wealthy person would pay the tax by renting or take the loss by   
   letting it set idle.   
      
   The big difference is that government has stepped in to pay people for   
   crops they don't grow and oil they don't pump and wind generators that   
   don't make any money.  People get all sorts of tax write offs for   
   Wal-mart because they create jobs....  SO taxing property isn't the   
   solution to anything, In fact the opposite is true, quit giving tax   
   breaks and subsidies to property owners.   
      
   Look at NEW YORK that allows businesses 10 years of no tax if they move   
   to NY.  They have a high tax rate in that State already, why do they   
   need more businesses?  Shouldn't their high taxes be creating an   
   economic boom?   
   --   
    Austerity is what happens when Socialists run out of other   
   people's money.
