You Socialist! Wanting everyone to pay the EXACT same for tax!
A sales tax is based on how much you consumer. If you consume more, you pay more. It allows you to have a choice how much you pay, which I agree with from a freedom poiint of view. However, the politicians will never allow you that choice and spend too much. There is no way this can work, sadly. We have structural spwending and debt obligations that never can be taken care of with a sales tax. Its sad, but its the reality of the matter.
It also promotes savings which I agree with as well. The current tax structure encourages wasteful consumption by businesses looking for writeoffs.
