That way, people with more money, who buy more stuff, pay more taxes? People who can't afford as much, who buy less stuff, pay less?
Not only that, but it would allow a +/- situation for luxury items, while food and other basic essentials would/could cost less.
I'm no economist, but people who make 100,000 bazillion a year need to give a little more. I heard a statistic that 90% of the US wealth is in 10% of the population..... Well, I feel that everyone has a right to make as much money as they want, just that they pay their fair share and not have fancy loopholes and exceptions to hide behind.
I also think that a more simple tax filing could be done to compensate for people who give to charities, etc... much like we do today. You could get a flat refund amount for a specific size donation, OR there could be a gift-matching system.
What do you think?
