We should all pay the same.
Let me ask this:
Should the very wealthy person pay the same percentage tax on his yacht,
furs, or Lamborghini as the very poor single parent pays on her milk,
cereal and gasoline to get to her second job?
You don't pay tax on raw foodstuffs (unlike a restaurant). That just
leaves gas and I don't see any way soon that different people will be
paying different prices on gas. As far as yachts, furs and Lamborghinis,
they have a luxury tax for those sorts of things - not sure which ones
are currently on it, but those should all qualify if they don't.
