Canadian Green Party Economist Frank de Jong: Tax=Resource Rent

i) Therefore the GPC proposes to employ natural resource charges so that those who use, monopolize or despoil our common wealth are obliged to reimburse society for this privilege;

l) Therefore the exclusive use of resources and land by individuals, institutions and businesses will require compensation to those excluded, i.e. those who hold resources or preferred sites, will be required to remit fees equal to the unearned economic rent as public revenue for public benefit (in lieu of income, business and sales taxes)

n) Therefore individuals, institutions or businesses granted the privilege of polluting will remit to government Pigouvian taxes as deemed appropriate by legislators;
o) Therefore the GPC further proposes that those who contribute back to the commons be financially compensated by government. Companies and individuals who forgo opportunistic income to conserve, protect or restore ecosystems will be reimbursed for expenses.
