I think that I understand your comments, but in regard to the quoted portion, if you truly believe that the "will of the majority should guide the society," then I suppose, at least in the U.S., slavery (or at least segregation) would still likely be allowed, women might just now be getting the right to vote, and homosexual marriage would still likely be illegal.
Which is why I think that, in regard to some matters, the "will of the majority" is not how things should be decided. And tax policy is probably one of those matters.
