With you. A national sales tax will ultimately hurt those that can least afford to BE taxed.

Good--then maybe they will get off their lazy a** and make something of themselves and stop relying on others to take care of them. Ultimately the current tax code is strictly a political tool to hurt the productive and subsidize the vote of the deadbeats and welfare rats who actually create the demand and expense of most government services/public pensions. The fairest way would be to make each person pay for the government services they use, but next fairest would be a straight head tax. The fair tax (sales tax) is not perfect, but it makes it much harder to buy votes.

“The fair tax (sales tax) is not perfect, but it makes it much harder to buy votes.”

Why? All they would do is make certain items tax-free.

Shoes priced under $100 = no tax.

Houses under 150,000.00, new or used = no tax.

Rents under 1,000 = no tax.

All non-ready to eat foods = no tax.

You just double the tax on things the non-preferred class can afford, and bingo, the votes roll in.

It is a joke, a scam dreamed up by a libtardian in the fog of a big new bag of herb.
