Quite a weird rant. We might just regulate how a TLD works so that there is no domain parking industry and problem is then solved. The party who runs the TLD is surely not going to sell them at a loss since they aren't getting those 5k or 100k amounts even today. They just get 10$ or 100$ per yer or whatever. If someone doesn't use a domain anymore and someone else has a claim on it, then it just gets moved to a new owner. Example: In Finland this is how the .fi domain works, you can get yourcompany.fi if you own yourcompany Oy (Ltd) and someone is just hoarding it. There's a process for this. It works.

> It works. Hah, that's exactly what he complained about (the part I quoted in my other comment) - even if it doesn't work, there's no reason to claim that "it works" and keep insisting on central planning. What if there's no YourCompany Oy in Finland? Why should someone need to go through the bureaucratic procedure of registering a company in order to get yourcompany.fi? Or why should the domain be wasted? What if there's YourCompany Pets and YourCompany Swimming Pools, who gets YourCompany? Or two John's Bakery Oy? More bureaucracy, more rules, more lawsuits, more unused domains, higher taxes, etc.
