There are two components of private property. 1)the raw materials (or land) 2)the labor (or improvements).
I agree with your stance on component 1. The raw materials, the land, they do in fact manifestly belong to everyone.
On component 2, the labor or improvements, I don't think those do belong to everyone. They belong exclusively to the creator who can transfer title. In fact, society has no moral claim on this component at all in my estimation.
Here is my idea. Stop funding society by taxing labor. It's counterproductive. It's morally wrong. Tax material and land use. This is what society truly has a claim on and how society should fund itself.
