Not so. The presumption here is that rates would not be adjusted upwards for stuff that only the rich can afford. As mentioned, the new rates would be applied accordingly and be subject to certain algorithms.
Our tax code is absurd I don't argue that, but the compliance costs of what you're proposing sound equally so. Who decides what product is taxed at what rate? And where do we find these non-corruptable people? Are all products that fall under the same category taxed the same, or are some considered luxury? If so who gets to draw the line for what's considered luxury? It all sounds like even more of a mess than what we have now.
