Yeah, they need taxes to support the $3000 a month raise they just voted themselves!

That raise alone is nearly half my pension.

think for a minute if we did away with income taxes and had only a user or sales tax. Taxes would be collected via business for goods sold.

This would be the fairest of taxes as those who spend the most would end up paying the most.

If I had a couply thousand more per month what would I do with it? Save it, tithe it and spend it. I bet the govt would take in more in taxes and of course our economy would thrive.

Are you sure it isn’t 3000 per year?
