6. Yes, but it must be explained to the people
many are buying into the Federal Sales Tax scam. It only becomes clear that progressive taxes are better when you explain that the sales tax doesn't tax interest income, which is the venue of the rich, but does tax basics that people need to survive. Show that a progressive tax still allows rich people to live while the sales tax could result in people having to make choices between food/medicine/shelter, and suddenly you get more people saying a progressive tax is the way to go.
