It's "Georgist" or "Geoist", not "Georgian". "Georgian" is what you call people who live in the US state of Georgia, or the state of Georgia located in the Caucasus Mountains. This isn't hard.
Most countries have Property Taxes instead of Land Value Taxes. In fact, there are legal barriers and technicalities to implementing LVT in the United States and other countries that prevent Georgism from being implemented: https://en.wikipedia.org/w..._States#Legality So stop saying that "we already have LVT". You don't know what you're talking about.
Opposing Georgism is tantamount to supporting slavery (where slavery is defined as having a right to the fruits of someone else's labor). As you know from playing Monopoly (the board game), it is always always always better to have all the land instead of all the money. If you have all the land, and your opponent has none, you can quickly take (steal) all their money without even trying.
And that is essentially what the end game of your anti-Georgist system would be. Monopoly wasn't made to criticize Capitalism, it was made to criticize Anti-Georgism. Under your system, the landlords and rent-seekers would suck up all the wealth, while everybody else has to scrape by, which isn't too different from how things are now, given that about two-thirds of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
