I wasn't getting into the question of whether IP should be taxed, merely replying to this statement:
If they insist that its intellectual "property", then they'd best start treating it like property.
So regardless of whether IP should be taxed, the argument for taxing it is not that all property is taxed - because it isn't.

But hard-to-hide expensive stuff (houses, cars, land) IS taxed because it is hard-to-hide and expensive, and patents could equally well have the same fate.
