Don’t you think that happens already, and most of it is hidden. Take a look at you phone or cable bill sometime. At least that tax is transparent and you will know what your paying.
Sure it does on those things but this will be on everything. You guy a gallon of milk, the cost will be 16% more, or a pair of jeans...everything...this is a huge tax and it is also a tax well enough hidden that they can raise it easily without the consumer even knowing. This is a VERY BAD thing.
You just don’t get it, because you don’t want to. You were here for the TAX WARS...didn’t you EVER read any of the threads and educate yourself? Oh, never mind, of course you didn’t! :-(

Ok, so one vote from Dstorm for a 16% tax increase in the price of everything we buy.
Other votes ?
2/3s of my monthly bills are taxes. Even when it doesn’t break it out, I know it is there.
For example, green energy mandates raise my electricity rates.
