 Based on the 2004 Federal Budget, the govt spent 2.3T.  In order to get 2.3T out of 7.7T consumer spending, the tax rate would be 29.8%.  That is if you tax EVERYTHING.  
You still said nothing about how all of the taxes that would be repealed affect the rich way more than the poor.  I wonder why.
