We pretty much do this already

Not quite. Imposing some cost to own certain things is not the same as "should have them taken away".

Yes, I understand that you can construct a continuous spectrum from a small fee to "it's cheaper for you to give it away rather than pay the tax", but I feel that in practice the distance is great.
