I fully agree that the Marxist inspired “progressive” income tax is evil!
ALL taxes are paid, directly or indirectly, by consumers!
Retail sales (consumption) taxes are the ONLY proper way to raise revenue for local, state and federal governments, because EVERY consumer is treated (taxed) at the same rate at the retail check out counter!
In fact, all other forms of taxation should be abolished, and governments at all levels should rely solely on consumption taxes!
IMHO, once the FAIRtax is implemented, and they see how well the FAIRtax works, local and state governments will very quickly abandon all other forms of taxation in favor of a consumption tax.
Sort of. However, the income tax is a tax on work and has nothing to do with consumers or consumption.
