Your desire to tax spending would be double taxation on people who have been thrifty & saved more than they spent & this includes many retired people with small nest eggs. That is hardly "fair". You're playing the same class warfare game the liberals like to play.
Taxing spending is NOT double Tax - because you get rid of the INCOME tax! Your assuming that the income tax remains.
SAVING is NOT spending. But I ddi hear of one plan that would tax ALL transactions including moving money from checking to savings, or savings to checking, then checking to store, etc etc etc.
And that was supposedly a republican plan??
