What we have to do is tax based on CONSUMPTION.
You want a 'life' following tax, there you go.
If you want to live like you are rich: consume more & pay more tax
If you want to live frugally and help society: consume less, recycle,buy used goods and get rewarded with less taxes.
No loopholes.

I have read several flat tax consumption tax books and studies, could you elaborate on what model you support? Is it possible or even a viable concern to be worried about secondary/black markets as a means of avoiding a consumption tax? And do you view usage, purchase, and consumption equally in your model?
