Private property and the market system are good not only to promote innovation and to promote growth; private property and the market system are good for our personal freedom.

What I argue for is a progressive tax, a global tax, based on the taxation of private property.

Our private property must be sacrificed.

Private ownership of property is vital to both our freedom and our prosperity.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.

People can have a long-term life plan only if they know their private property is secure.
