This adds an entirely new tax on top of the taxes we already have.
It’s insane to agree with this.
The issue is spending, folks. Control spending. Why is it that conservatives, who just a few short weeks ago were screaming bloody murder at increasing taxes, are not because of their “flavor of the month” candidate have jumped on the “let’s increase taxes” bandwagon.
I have absolutely no desire to give politicians another tax, and will fight it to the grave.
The only way to institute a national sales tax is to ratify a constitutional amendment that on the same day (1) repeals the 16th amendment tax, (2) forbids Congress ever enacting a legislative income tax of any kind, (3) and institutes the particular type of sales tax desired with a set LIMIT on its size.
Anyone not for the preceding paragraph is simply bending over for tax-loving politicians.
I don’t know. Maybe I’m a simpleton, but for us, it would mean a HELLAVA lot less paid in income tax. And if I spend $50 and only have to pay $4.50 in taxes on that amount, I’m ok with that.
If we eliminate all the special favors and tax loopholes, I feel it would allow incomes to rise dramatically.
How about the “earned income” tax credit? If it abolishes that type of crap as well ...I’m ALL for it!! Getting pretty sick of seeing people who pay no taxes getting tax refunds!!
