It doesn’t matter whether the tax is visible or not, you have to pay it, or you can’t buy whatever you are trying to buy. When you get down to it, it’s just as insidious as payroll withholding. Unless you plan to stop buying things.

The various “protected classes” will get assurances that their government payments will be adjusted. And hey, the “protected classes” already vote for whomever promises to to put more money in their pockets. They aren’t going to care how the government gets the money.

Uh, no.

The rest of what you wrote is not HR25/S1025. I could sit around and make up stuff of what I think the income tax is going to become, but what good would it do? Best to look at what is has become: it ain't pretty.
