” I am against introducting a new pot of money for Washington - a consumption tax.”
Congress can create a sales tax any time they like. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution says they can. So you people who think this 9-9-9 plan introduces Washington to a new pot are woofully illinformed. What do you call the GAS Tax?
Oh oh, now everyone is going to get pissed.
This would advance the Left from sin taxes to the Federal right to impose total sales taxes. There is a huge difference.
