That's not an argument for broad progressive income or wealth based taxes though. That's an argument for taxes tailored more directly to the services rendered. User fees based on actual costs as nearly as can be determined.  Alternately, it is an argument for a broader based, but lower, tax, like a flat sales tax with well-thought out exemptions to capture -all- the users of services regardless of where they live. Assuming basic staples are excluded, those who consume more will pay more.

After all, a lower income person, or a wealthy person who wants to live simply, could have the multiple cars yet pay less in property taxes.
