I’d gladly pay a tax on my purchases, which I control beyond necessities, in exchange for not only a lower personal income tax rate, but a rate that is the same for everyone and the demise of the tax code, which would get rid of lobbying for deductions, etc.
Know why Libs DON’T want a national sales tax? Because it gives the power of the purse to the people. They can easily and directly affect how much money the federal beast gets simply by changing their spending habits.
Libs hate that. They don’t want people to have a better means of starving the beast. They want to put people in the box of having to earn less income if they don’t want to pay more taxes.
