Taxing sentimental value would be a perfect way to make the poor even poorer.. I don’t like the idea. Why would someone want to do this?

Did you understand the tax deduction part?

You can set the number so that if poor person must pay tax, he actually is moderately wealthy.

Yes and still, the idea of taxing sentimental value feels as absurd as tax on level of life satisfaction or something similar.
