Thomas Jefferson (1734-1826):
The earth is given as common stock for men to labor and live on. Wherever in any country there are idled lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865):
​An individual, or company, or enterprise requiring land should hold no more that is required for their home and sustenance, never more that they have in actual use in the prudent management of their legitimate business, and this much should not be permitted when it increases and exclusive monopoly.

Adam Smith (1723-1790):
​Ground rents are a species of revenue which the owner, in many cases, enjoys without care of attention to his own. Ground rents are, therefore, perhaps a species of revenue which can best bear to have a secular tax imposed upon them.

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910):
​Solving the land question means solving of all social questions…Possession of land by people who do not use it is immoral - just like possession of slaves.
