You wouldn't tax essentials (basic food, basic clothing etc.). You would tax the extravagances that only the wealthy can afford.

  Not sure how you fairly determine what clothing is needed and what is extravagance. Currently, where I live, basic food items are already tax free. Things like candy and other junk are taxed.

    I think it would work best based on relative price. So the cheapest jeans on the market are $10. Jeans that cost 50% more than that are taxed.

      That seems unworkably complex and subjective.
