Yoon Hee-suk, Ryu Si-min’s remarks, “If you hear Henry George, you will be surprised”

On the 27th, Rep. Yoon Hee-sook refuted the remarks made by Roh Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-Hyun-dan, “I hope it will become a world where people can no longer even think of becoming rich by buying and selling land.”

Rep. Yoon mentioned the remarks of Chairman Yoo through Facebook on the same day, saying, “We should make policies well so that the idea of ​​becoming rich with real estate does not go through, we try to overcome the market by offering the opposite policy.”

Previously, Chairman Yoo talked about Henry George, an American economist, on the 25th of the YouTube broadcast’Alileo Season 3′. Chairman Yoo said that Henry George was “a person who insisted on a single tax on land to eradicate social evils.” “The mainstream media used real estate as a means of speculation and tried to cause a huge real estate price spike. Summon him.”

In response, Assemblyman Yoon said, “He (Chairman Yoo) recalled Henry George and mentioned the real estate tax.” “George owns a factor of production with a fixed supply like land after experiencing California, where land prices rose sharply during the industrialization process. We proposed to redeem the profits from the land so as not to obtain excessive monopoly profits by itself.”

“The people who summon the 19th century thinker Henry George in Korea are real estate tax all-arounds.” “The participating government has already summoned Henry George to create a strange tax that is unique to our country, but the real estate price failed to increase record-breaking. I have caused it.”

Assemblyman Yoon “However, there has been a lot of confusion due to the fact that domestic Georgians keep omitting important parts,” he said. “His idea is that taxes should not be levied on economic activities that create value, and all taxes except land are abolished. I have to do it.”

“If the excess return of reconstruction and redevelopment, which functions to supply housing to the city center, is enough to curb the reconstruction or redevelopment itself, this is in direct conflict with Henry George’s thoughts.” “With the name of Henry George, both land and buildings “If Henry George meets the Georgians in our country who have to collect all the profits and collect them, it will be a big surprise.”

Rep. Yoon continued, “To confess, I also don’t think that a society with big profits from house transactions is desirable. The key is how effective efforts are made to that goal. “There is nothing other than the formation of the perception that there is no need to buy or sell for investment, as the price will not rise as much as the desired type of housing is stably supplied where people want it.”
