Good lord you're an optimist.
I would only believe in more taxes like the PST if
a) the politicians were financially competent. Funny how BC now no longer wants the HST. The tire tax in BC was imposed to "save the environment" - but what did they do with the monies generated by the tire tax? Put it into general revenue so the politicians could muck that up. How's the provincial coffers looking in Ontario?
b) the politicians weren't corrupt. Case in point: Quebec. Enough said.
Since a) and b) are extremely doubtful, I would never suggest more taxes because throwing money to incompetent and corrupt people will not solve anything.
