In addition to paying the 30% national sales tax you would still be paying whatever state sales tax that you may have. States like Florida, Montana and Delaware get thier revenue from user fees and liquor and gas tax. You will see a rise in those state taxes and fees because there is no guarantee that the 30% national sales tax will trickle down to state projects that currently get federal funding.
