I'm foggy on it because the memory is hidden behind a think wall of bong debris. But I thought it was presented as a more efficient and easier to track and implement tax then the MST and it was far more fair and transparent.

I don't remember it being marketed as a debt reduction pool as it was suppossed to be fairly revenue neutral to the MST.
