It'd be better to tax things we don't want, like pollution.

Massive inequality is among the things we really shouldn't want.

Massive rent-seeking, enclosures, network effects, and benefiting by public infrastructure and institutions, without paying back full costs, or by imposing dislocations on other economic sectors, as well.

Aviation accounts for 6% of transportation fuel use. For a small portion of passenger and minuscule fraction of cargo movement.
