Let's see:  he added value to his
home at the rate of $20 per hour,
times so many hours, equals $50,000
in value added to his previously
non-existent home, which added value
he will surely recover when he sells
the home, very probably within the
next 3 to 5 years, so, in addition
to taxing the sale of his house at
some unspecified future date, we will
now tax the value which he added to
his home, because that value is obviously
(future) income and we may as well tax
it now, rather than waiting until later
to do so.  It's just good public policy.
What's good for the whole must be good
for the part, yes?
