Government / Politics
Do voters shift some of the burden of current government spending onto future generations through debt-financed deficits? Three short sentences assuming that **taxes fall on land** introduce a sweeping conclusion: "The burden of the debt falls on the present generation, and they will therefore choose the optimal discount rate, just as they choose the optimal policy in other areas".

(si se asume/si se da por sentado) que los impuestos recaen sobre (el valor) del suelo/bienes raíces
No creo que el término sea metafórico sino más bien una expresión "muy real" que se utiliza en el ámbito económico, una de las máximas de los economistas...
Traducción propuesta:
"si se asume que los impuestos recaen sobre el (valor del) suelo/bienes raíces" o "(...) que los impuestos son tributos territoriales"

"All **taxes fall on land** values. If land values absorb the economy's capacity to pay, then all taxes, in so far as they reduce that capacity, reduce land values. A tax on the owner of the land is a deduction from the imputed rental value of the land for the owner and is discounted in the price that any alternative owner will pay for the land. A tax on any other entity is a deduction from that entity's capacity to pay for land. Either way, the ultimate burden falls on land owners. Therefore, if the owners were informed and rational, their aversion to taxes would extend to all taxes and would not be concentrated exclusively, or even mainly, on taxes payable by land owners."

"There is no error more completely exploded than that maxim of the economists, that all **taxes fall on land**, and consequently that all taxes may, without injustice, be directly imposed on the land."
http://books.google.es/books?id=IxANAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA164&lpg=PA...
"Once it is seen that there is a possibility of a win-win situation in shifting from other taxes towards a land tax, the next question is which taxes could be the first to be cut. Bearing in
mind the basic principle that all **taxes fall on land**, labour or capital, the answer is that the taxes on the most footloose activities should be cut first."
http://www.treasury.act.gov.au/TaxReview/Tax Review submissi...
"The author quotes Locke's statement that all **taxes fall on land**, but adds : " I could cite a great deal more to the same
Purpose . . . ; but I chuse to decline it, lest I should be represented as an Advocate for Land Taxes; whereas my great Desire is that our Taxes in general may be lessen'd." p. 49. Cf. his views as to the effect of taxes on necessaries and wages, p. 54."

Asumiendo que los impuestos tengan el efecto deseado.
I am venturing this answer per Sandra's suggestion, since my level of confidence is extremely low. If I were in her shoes, I'd repost this question as monolingual English to get additional input on the meaning of "falling on land" as it is used here.
Good luck Sandrinha!
