Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is declaring independence.

Explanation:

• Paine was serious when he claimed "every person born into the world is born the rightful possessor of a specific type of property." He didn't want to replace private property with communal ownership. Land improvements and extra value belong to individual landowners. Paine wanted to give everyone an inheritance.
• Paine recommended that landowners pay ground rent for unimproved land. A landowner's estate is taxed 10% after they die. The rich would also be expected to donate personal possessions upon death.
• Paine justified the inheritance tax by saying, "Beyond what a man's hands produce, he derives from society."
• Paine maintained that only some forms of wealth, those not directly generated from labor, should be taxed.
• Paine had no problem with inequality as long as no one was sad.
• This tax's proceeds would go into a fund for all.
• Paine envisioned three uses for this fund. At age 21, everyone would get 15 pounds.
• In Paine's time, an able-bodied worker earned around 23 pounds a year.
• This lump sum would be paid to everyone whatever gender, rank, or money "to prevent invidious disparities."
• Second, anybody over 55 would get an annual pension. The "lame and blind" would get any leftover monies.
