First of all I don't think anyone has proposed a 10% sales tax mentioned in the OP.
As to the game and how it is always played by government. A 10% sales tax is proposed. After much screaming it comes in at 9% and the people cheer my politician worked hard for me and mad it ONLY 9%. We get had over and over and over again. It is over a 30% increase over what it is now and the people cheer.
