Tiered tax rates based on how much you're buying or how many things you're buying can allow taxing less from the poor.

What, so now the government needs to track all my spending in order to figure out my tax rate? No, thank you.

Or like the Illinois progressive sales tax experiment of 1977? That's just plain silly¹.

¹ And admittedly not a real occurrence – look up The Pale King by David Foster Wallace.
