its simply too late in the election cycle to come out for something like this, the sheeple will look at it as a ripoff, as soon as they hear "national sales tax".
its simply too late in the election cycle to come out for something like this, the sheeple will look at it as a ripoff, as soon as they hear "national sales tax".The reason Bush isn't "exactly sure how big the national sales tax is going to have to be" is because he knows if he says he's in favor of a 30%(exclusive rate) NRST, his reelection chances are over. Kerry could pound on him every day that "Bush wants to make your [insert sympathetic consumption item here (daycare, healthcare, new home, etc)] 30% more expensive." It would be all over.
