Still, seems like table stakes.

Start with georgist/pigouvian taxes, and then expand to other kinds of income/wealth afterwards.

But Georgist taxes can go really far I'd imagine.

No, why? If we're going to do a wealth tax, then do a wealth tax. Why single out only one kind of wealth, and the kind that is not even the most important these days?

(What's more important? IP. The value of Google, say, isn't in the land it owns. It's in the code, the database of web pages, and the google.com domain name.)
