Awesome that it was even mentioned.

Best idea around.

The opposition will be enormous.

I don't WANT some big shot rich guy thinking he owns more of the country than I do just because he pays a higher percentage of taxes than I do. Make it an equal percent.

If it's good enough for God (10%) then an equal percent is fair everywhere else.

It won't be equal. Every rich guy will create a personal corporation that every purchase he makes will the laundered through. There will be lots of sham "general stores" set up to launder certain people's purchases through. Those to poor to do so will have to pay, the rich won't. It's the same VAT scam that poeple use in Europe. Lots of phoney corporations that claim to do reselling that don't. Americans do a little of this now. How many FFLs do you know that skim off some of their stock for their personal collection? Stuff that has had no sales tax paid on. Does your local car dealer drive a tax paid car or does he drive a "dealer" tagged car that no tax has been paid on? This tax will be evaded.

Still, no one has figured out how not to double tax people who have savings when that saved money is spent.

Keep talking like that and some big rich guy is going to hire you at a darn good salary.
