Your consumption tax is idiotic I have ZERO interest in having what little I was allowed to keep, now taxed again.
Empire: 1) I’m not clear. 2)you don’t listen. A consumption tax should replace the income tax. High end earners will pay more for consuming more.
Even if it magically replaced income tax (which it won’t), I’ve already paid tax on my income. Why do you think I would now want to take on a tax I do not now have? Every dollar I currently have would be double taxed. Do you listen?
No one should want this idiotic non-constitutional tax.
Hasn’t the Federal Government already convinced you that it is completely irresponsible with ANY taxation it implements? It is wishful thinking at its worst to think that a NEW tax would somehow fix existing failure.
If anything, “income” needs to be more narrowly defined, restricting FedGov’s greedy hand with the tax it already has.
BTW, I have ZERO interest in seeing “high income” or any other group of Americans pay more than anyone else. I am not a Communist. A “fair” tax would take Federal spending and divide it equally among ALL Americans, alcoholics and workaholics. That can’t work, so we have the unfair taxation that we have. So be it. Only Communists want to make it even more unfair.
