Countries around the world have 10-17% VAT/ GST (goods and service tax) and they still have normal tax of 20-50% on top of that. The Usa might throw in a national 10% tax like other countries NZ or Australia have them. Its a nice way of them taking even more money off your plate.

a 23% tax wouldn't cover half the lost income from all the wage tax taht will not be collected
Those other countries likely also have higher government spending. For example: publicly funded health care.
