If Federal employees are still subject to an income tax, would they somehow be exempt from the sales taxes?

Not that I can tell. The way I'm reading it right now is that a wage or salary is a "service" and is subject to the same tax as goods sold by a retailer.

From what I also understand is that anyone who has a social security number is considered a federal employee by the government, so the income tax is replaced with a 23% tax on wages and salaries.

Is this a misreading of the bill?
