This is amusing as a thought experiment, but it would end up being new-age feudalism.

Can you imagine the crazy tricks people would use to evade taxes? Adopt a child and buy the rights to their tax, then move all your assets to them. Build up hype and sell futures on your own tax asset before going bankrupt. Have your life controlled by predatory taxlords who offer tax discounts for living in specific housing and buying specific products.
