I'll at least give you credit for admitting that your position is that the rich should be taxed unfairly.

Many of you might be too young to remember this, but we tried a "yacht tax" in 1990. It was a colossal failure. All it really did was cost US jobs as the yacht, jewelry, and fur industries tanked, massive layoffs ensued, and tax revenues declined.

5-7% of your gross income in non-cash goods is a surprising number. A good rule of thumb is that the donated value of used goods is approximately 25% of the original purchase prices, which would mean that you are spending 20-30% of your annual income on items that you will ultimately donate every year. Certainly, there may be other explanations for how this could happen. You could be a salesman that is required to purchase samples and you turn around and donate them in new condition when you are done with them, or some other reason that you are purchasing goods and donating them new. It's just uncommon, and I say that as a former paid tax preparer.

Chico, then say goodbye to all those great services that you enjoy including the library, police, fireman, military, road maintenance, etc. If you want total freedom you can have it. There are plenty of 3rd world countries that you won't have any of the terrible things our country wastes money it gets from the crippling taxes you pay.
In turn, you will have to invest a vast amount of your wealth in things you will need to protect yourself because those countries won't do it for you.

Just a quick list. If you think this country is special and immune you are being foolish. I think there is a nice quote about being doomed to relive history you aren't aware of.
