And the benefit (other than corporate profits) would be? Aside that, prices varying according to gender and age sound like a lawsuit prime feature.

Why stop at groceries? Make everything variably priced. Vary the prices enough so that no matter how much or little you work, in the end everyone's costs (and wealth) are equal. Da komrade!
Absolutely nothing should be tied to income. If it is we remove any incentive to succeed or excel. Everyone becomes nothing
Fines should be.
Road tax.
Well said, bootlicker
