No - it would have exactly the opposite effect.

Many georgists propose LVT + citizens dividend which is in effect a better version of a wealth tax with UBI - meaning it would be highly re-distributive from the asset-rich class to the asset-poor, and therefore very positive for inequality.

Nobody who claims to be Georgist or support Georgism seem to agree what it actually means. I'm following the traditional definition of having only a land value tax. If you want to propose something completely different you can do that, but I don't even know what "Georgism plus a bunch of extra taxes" is supposed to be mean.
