The piece argues the GST is disliked for visibility while hidden taxes shrink voter awareness. It contrasts gas and beer taxes with payroll deductions, noting 62 percent of federal revenue comes from income tax and unemployment insurance. It urges making all taxes visible via register pricing and monthly cheques, citing Switzerland as a model.
