AB - The Law in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament requests protecting the weak, such as orphans, widows, and strangers. In order to protect the economically weak and to rehabilitate them, ‘economic justice’ and ‘social welfare’ must be realized. In current Korean society, ‘housing expenses’ forms the largest portion of household expenditure. The public rental housing can improve the living environment of the weak. Increasing public residence is not a waste of tax, because if the underprivileged reduce the cost they spend on housing, they will have purchasing power for various items, including food. Financial resources are needed to expand the construction of public rental housing. I propose a ‘national land holding tax.’ It is paid by all landowners once a year at a certain percentage(0.5%-4%) of the official land price. This will function to curb real estate speculation and recover unearned income.
