大卫·李嘉图《政治经济学及赋税原理》· On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation · 投资
The following argument of M. Say is founded on the same views as Mr. Buchanan's: "The quantity of wine or corn which a piece of land will produce, will remain nearly the same, whatever may be the tax with which it is charged. The tax may take away a half, or even three-fourths of its net produce, or of its rent if you please, yet the land would nevertheless be cultivated for the half or the quarter not absorbed by the tax. The rent, that is to say the landlord's share, would merely be somewhat lower. The reason of this will be perceived, if we consider, that in the case supposed, the quantity of produce obtained from the land, and sent to market, will remain nevertheless the same. On the other hand the motives on which the demand for the produce is founded continue also the same.

白话
萨伊先生的以下论证与布坎南先生基于同样的观点:“一块土地生产的葡萄酒或谷物数量,无论对它征什么税,都几乎保持不变。税可能拿走其净产品的一半甚至四分之三,或者你愿意说,拿走地租的一半或四分之三,但土地仍会为了未被税拿走的那一半或四分之一而耕种。地租,即地主的份额,只是会有所降低。只要考虑一下就能明白:在假设的情况下,从土地获得并送到市场的产品数量仍然不变。另一方面,对产品需求背后的动机也保持不变。”
上下文
李嘉图引述法国经济学家萨伊的观点,萨伊认为土地税不会改变产量和需求,只会降低地租。
