Eh, the more I think about it the more I agree with Lookout's tax idea. I would change it to a small progressive tax then flat rate but the main point is to have a large sales tax. I don't know if he went into this, but I would make the sales tax "progressive" as well. Low sales tax for necessities (food, clothing, etc), higher for entertainment, and extremely high for luxury items.
