Something I've wondered about - you specify a value and pay a tax accordingly. Anyone is then able to buy it from you for that price. Have some short term part for free, then fees scale over time.
a ship declared the value of their cargo for toll purposes. They decided the price, but the catch was the customs could buy the cargo at that price.
There's clearly values I'd easily accept, you offer me a hundred grand for my car and you can take it whenever you want.
Now for regular items like a car this would be hard. How do I value it and how do I not get caught out when second hand sales spike and I don't follow the markets?
But we're not talking about everyone's car. We're talking about asking the state to forbid others to make or build certain things (yes I know it's more detailed but you get the meaning).
That extra “value” (or tax on people) you ascribe to your car may or may not be distributed in manner that societally makes sense
Or have I misunderstood your point?
It may not be intuitive how the math works but this would be exploited so hard it would cause serious social and political issues. I don’t have a dog in this fight, I am just savvy enough to the math to see how bad an idea this is. Which is probably why no government has seriously attempted it even though it is an old idea.
