No way, I’m retiring this week. One of the things I was looking forward to is not having to fund the national government anymore. Don’t cheat me out of this!

A NRST is good, a tariff is better , both together are great. Kill the income tax!

I’m not defending the Dems, but the their thinking is that state sales taxes and also upstream taxes (like gas taxes, excise taxes, etc.) are also paid by Illegals, thus making Illegals taxpayers, even if they are skipping out on 85% of the taxes that a legally employed American pays.

As to a VAT, they will go for that, because even for Dems, there does come a point where they have to start PAYING for all they promise, and the VAT is about the only effective way to extract the amount of money needed, from where the money resides, which is the Middle Class, as those people will not put up with increased income taxes, particularly after having them lowered to next to nothing.

Who said they wanted to end national income tax? They want a national sales tax ON TOP of the national income tax.

Income taxes punish making money.

Property taxes are just unconstitutional IMHO because they challenge my right to my property; How can you own something if it can be taken away if you don’t pay taxes on it?

A sales tax is the only truly fair tax system.

They want a Value Added Tax.

The VAT is a real killer. It taxes at every level of the goods from manufacturing to the end sale. A one dollar item becomes two dollars by the time it is sold.

A national Retail Tax is taxed at its final sale. A One Dollar Item is sold for $1.15 at the final sale if the tax is 15%, or whatever the rate is.
