Re: Taxing Intelligence/Talent (was: 'Waterhole' and land rents)

That's why a tax on intelligence/talent may be unworkable. I don't see any
way to separate earnings due to intelligence from earnings due to effort.

Self-correction: effort is easy to measure (just add up hours worked).

The real problem is this: some jobs are cushy whereas some are
dirty/difficult/dangerous. So we need some measure of how yucky a job is
before we can tax the 'rent.'
