no! it’s my money, I want to spend it on what I want and it has nothing to do with what I think the govt is worth! It’s what I think the product is worth.

And I know with a sales tax you will end up with all these exceptions for all the government’s favored goods and higher rates for unfavored goods. How do I know? Because we already see this with state sales taxes as well as the federal consumption taxes we have including gas, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.

The key is then to eliminate the plethora of sales taxes and UNIFY them. I object to a tax system where you have to pay over and over again. Its only fair to pay once and then your obligation ends there.

I might add if it isn't, its not really a fair tax but a fraud.
