I feel like I am replying to either the National Enquirer or Salon, back in the days when they would put their key words in color. When you invent your own punctuation to show your key points it implies that your usual audience is too stupid to pick them out w/o help. This implies that the people with your opinion are mostly half-wits, and I do not think you want to seriously debate under that handicapp.

Frankly, I agree with your conclusion about land tax, but I am rather relunctant to agree with anyone that uses logic as shoddy as you presented. Since you presented your case in ethos, I will answer in the same form.

How do you justify that the owners of the golf course are not also members of the community? How would elimination of property tax keep those with money from forcing them out? How would the government replace the funds that come from that tax? Property tax was invented to keep business from owning all land ad charging the rent the government has decided to charge itself, how do you replac that impediant to business doing the same?
