"The trouble I see with sales tax is that it rubs the tax in the face of each purchasing consumer at the point of purchase. There are people who will see that the taxes go to pay for our infrastructure and that is the price we pay for a civil society, but there is a very large group who will not see that, They will focus on the added charge to the bill in front of them and they will freak. they are typically democrats BTW."
And just what is the negative aspect of making EVERY citizen aware of the cost of the entitlements they demand from the politicians? What is wrong with pointing out the blatant hypocricy of the moochers?
"If you want to focus on a sales tax as the method, it will work and everything said in that video is true, except that it will never get beyond a pep rally of republicans, because the democrats will kill it every time."
With all three branches controlled by "Republicans" why would this be an issue? Could it be because the Republicans are no longer conservative and are just as interested in bribery of the electorate as the Democrats?
The NRST is not only a tool to restore the freedom to enjoy the fruits of our effort, it could also be a tool to take back the Republican party! Vote for true Conservatives, and utilize HR25 as one of the identifiers available!
It completely untaxes the poor, saves SS/MC, and creates jobs.
But the repubs got hold of it first - so Dems automatically oppose based on politics (not the good of their constituents). Also, the measure would eliminate the class warfare weapon.
CSM, you always beat me to the punch ! This is the way to make EVERYONE realize what they are paying. Then ALL will open their eyes and get envolved !
