This is a fantastic introduction to taxation as part of fiscal policy. On a sheet of paper design your own optimal tax system (and contrast with the current model). And then they will have to justify getting rid of one tax and introducing another new one.

Unit 1: Indirect Taxation and its regressive effect on consumers

The data that supports their argument for a reduction in indirect tax can be found in a report titled Aggressively Regressive.
