Yeah, assuming the people working at the taco shop aren't very well off the taco should cost $100 for a software engineer, $80M for Jeffrey Bezos, and $4 for someone down on their luck.

If we wanted, we could make this more efficient by giving out free healthcare and housing to people, proportional to their need, and tax $95 from the software engineer, $80M from Bezos, and $0 from someone down on their luck.

Progressive Tacos does sound better than Progressive taxation, and it would probably work better because rich people dodge taxes all the time, but come on, who doesn't want to eat tacos?

We (software engineers) won't have proper empathy for the poor until we go into an apple store and the price tag on the iPhone is "20% of your net worth".
