I agree with many of your statements. Which I shy I dont understand why you would want to put a flat tax on everyone. Surely a poor person who spends most of his money on basic essentials shouldnt pay the same rate as a rich person who spends much of their money on frivolous items.

Why?
So should everything work this way? Should I show my W2 to Burger King, so they can adjust accordingly how much to charge me for food?

No, if you are having trouble paying for food you should stick to Burger King and not visit high-end french restaurant.

I can eat for a week on what Burger King cost, so based on basic needs, it's like a high-end french restaurant.
It would be interesting to see what it cost to live a minimum life, without being a burden on anyone. I bet it's very little.

I would consider Burger King a luxury as well.
If you wanted to find out how little someone could eat on, you should include things that constitue a healthy diet in your equation. I could only eat 25 cent Ramen which would add up to $5 a week (not factoring water, electricity, etc.), but I would be horribly malnurished.
