I'd be a starter and suggested to Roger Douglas raising GST to the point of eliminating income tax when GST was introduced. His objection was if it got too high it would lead to evasion and avoidance. It is a valid point. Therefore he favoured a higher GST and a flat tax of 22%. He would have got there if it weren't for Lange losing the plot, and calling for a cup of tea break, which has cost this country dearly ever since.
