I completely agree with the possible theories you outlined for why land redistribution in the United States would not be a positive idea. While there has been precedent set for land redistribution in other countries, America would not make a good candidate for these programs. I personally believe that the main reason that this program would not work today is the high cost of land and legal rights guaranteed to Americans. In 2015, the average cost of one acre of farmland was $3020 and this price continues to rise every year. This high expense gives the landowner the legal rights to keep his property for themselves. Furthermore, government seizure of this land for redistribution would be a serious encroachment on the rights of the landowner.
