Locke also wrote that "For this "labour" being the unquestionable property of the labourer, no man but he can have a right to what that is once joined to, at least where there is enough, and as good left in common for others."
Which, I think, is the central issue regarding property rights and inequality. We should question all rent generating property rights, just as Locke did, and try to find a system of propert rights where rent doesn't create inequality.
Taxation seems to be he popular approach, but why not try to redefine the rights all together? What if such property rights were time limited, and came with a fee equal to the rent potential?
