I'm thinking along the lines of: use it on public goods (etc.) so taxes aren't as high on the less fortunate; a rather progressive tax system.

Not saying that government will do this but it could.

So, if John Doe who makes $27,000/yr spends his money voluntarily on a pro sports product or service (entertainment), the govt should step in and take it from the entertainer/athlete and return it to the less fortunate like John Doe.

Makes sense if you abhor freedom and want to treat citizens as children. Utopia indeed.
