<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In 1795 <b>Thomas Paine wrote a wonderful short essay entitled "Agrarian Justice".</b> In it he "proposes a system of social welfare, including old-age pensions and a citizen's dividend, funded
by a tax on land inheritance. Paine argued that while private property is necessary, land was originally common property, so landowners owe a "ground-rent" to the community, which should be used to provide a basic income for all citizens, especially the poor
and elderly. It is considered a foundational text for modern concepts like universal basic income and land value tax."
