It's hard for me to believe that we had to go 42 posts deep before someone addressed the real results of a national sales tax. I can't believe so many freepers are getting their shorts in a twist without understanding the details behind a potential sales tax (consumption tax). I don't want anyone taking my money based on my income - I'll pay my fair share at a time that I CHOOSE - when I consume products and services. Thanks for adding some sanity to this string!

You're quite welcome
