[Questions for the Association of Biblical Justice for the Land]
1. What is the main purpose of economic activities? Does the possession of means of life bring eternal life?
2. Are land, labor and capital the element of production? Where is God in here? What kind of relationship do wage and return have with God?
3. How is the surplus of value created? Does it come from the value of exchange? Who is the subject of the creation of the surplus value and what is the ratio? What is the ratio of personal and social contribution for that?
4. To whom would the land tax go? Why does the Bible so emphasize on the issue of helping poor people?
5. How does the Land tax embrace the meanings of annual tithing, Sabbath year, and Jubilee?
6. Why is income tax a punishment? Is the tithing a penalty? Does the Year of release incur moral hazard?
7. If the Land tax enhances the efficiency of the use of the land, wouldn’t the land and labors lose more opportunity to rest? Sabbath requires both the land and the labor to rest.
8. With the elimination of the greed of the land owner, will the lust of capitalist disappear? How does the land tax bring the new heaven and new earth? Why did Jesus ask the young rich man to sell everything he has and give them to the poor and follow him?
9. Will Land tax reduce the capital gaps that already exist? What about those who cannot afford the expensive rent of the land due to the size of the capital? Is that a fair competition?
10. The Law of Jubilee distributes the land freely, equally and originally. Will the Land tax bring the same kind of effect?
