Again, the point of a flat sales tax in my opinion would be to make the citizen more aware of the cost of their government. If the rate started at 30%, then that's what it would be
The same citizen getting a government check every month?

What makes you think we're the only ones that know the cost of government?

Absolutely. I have zero doubt about this.

The endless stream of people that I talk to that have no idea what they themselves pay directly in taxes, let alone what the added cost to them in goods and services is due to the graduated system.

With your level of cynicism, I assume you are against any reform, as it is all doomed to failure in your opinion?
