I love the idea of seeing every single sales receipt and invoice show clearly the entire tax burden at the federal, state, county, and city levels, and I'd even make it mandatory to display "Total Taxes" so people could get really good and damned mad at how much they have to pay for government. I see it as the only thing (if anything, and it isn't guaranteed that there is anything) that would ever get people off their asses and actual *do* something.
In fact, I'd also make it mandatory to print the month's year-to-date collected totals for each level of tax revenue. What do you all think about that?
