The US has a compartmentalized tax system by design: money is raised where money is spent. It is a big country with big dfferences in cost of living so a uniform rate would either over-tax the low cost of living areas, under-tax and subsidize the expensive urban areas, or provide even more money for politicians to buy votes or waste or both. Total non-starter.

Do you believe that the current system works well? The massive non-payment of use tax would seem to indicate that it doesn't; we even have people here claiming to be unaware that it even exists!
