The analogy would be taxing the car based on its value, not based on the value of the people and goods it carries.

Which is what we do!



People and goods aren't part of the car. Refrigeration equipment for example is part of the taxable value of the refrigeration truck, ie. basic truck + refrigeration equipment would be taxed higher than just the same basic truck. Similarly scyscraper is a part of that piece of real estate consisting of land + scyscraper.
