Make the taxes proportional to the benefit received from society. The

But how much you make is not related to the benefit you recieve from
society. Benefit you receive from your hard work, etc. maybe. Using your
scheme those who receive more benefit from society would be those on
welfare.

I guess I'd do something stupid like calculate it on the average cost of
housing, food, medical care, transportation, utilities, clothing and
subtract that sum from net income and have progressive taxes based on
the difference.
