Christian nationalist Doug Wilson wants tax rates to be determined by the Bible: "I would like Divine Law to have something to say about the marginal tax rates ... because when the state claims a tithe, they're claiming equality with God."

    Who is the “original owner” of land?

      If we are applying it to the US, I would say Native Americans. Originally, this law was because land could only be leased for at most 50 years. It could not be sold. That feels appropriate since most , if not all, Native American groups didn’t consider the land to be something that could be owned.

      A mat of single-celled organisms, that floated on a shallow sea over what is now Nebraska, 3.5 billion years ago.

      In ancient times? The king.

      Maybe not the original owner, but good luck arguing that when the soldiers come to evict you.
