I would be in favour of a 10% HST.

I tried that argument with my wife once. I make $70,000 per year, and she makes $30,000 per year. Therefore it seemed fair to me that I would pay 70% of all the bills and she pays 30% of all the bills.
At the end of the year I had a ton of money left over in my bank account and drove a nice car and she was virtually broke and drove a beater. It didn't seem so fair after all.
