Actually, that's not _quite_ true.

Friedman (I'm assuming you're referring to Milton) said that the best tax 
was the tax proposed by Henry George.

I have the impression that he wasn't as sympathetic to the Georgist
program 
as the quote attributed to him would indicate---he specifically called
land 
value taxation "the least bad tax"---but he at least understand and partly

approved of the program.
