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

Sure it would, because our income tax does not exceed 40% and individuals making under $15,000/year don't have to pay any income tax. There are just many people in a 0% tax bracket as there are people in the highest tax bracket.
