Are you saying I said what you are saying.
NO, I didn’t say anything you just said. I was questioning it and apparently many people are doing the same. As Cain says it, it sounds okay, but will it stay that way?
I was questioning if the 9% federal sales tax would stay at 9%.
Cain couldn’t say it would, well it would as long as he is the boss, but what happens if democrats get in charge and raise it 10%
And risk the ire of their core voters of poor white trash and ghetto rats who will finally find out that THEY are finally about to be affected by a Democrat tax increase?
I would love to see that!
OK, sorry if I misunderstood what you said.
The way I look at it, any tax can go up or down, depending on whom we elect. Our federal income tax can go up just as easily as the federal sales tax.
However, I watch spending habits of the woman closest to me..my wife. She notices sales tax rate so much better than her income tax rate. She avoids shopping in towns which have 0.25% additional sales tax! My point is the politicians will have a harder time sneaking in a sales tax increase than any other tax. People see it in their sales receipt with every purchase. The exact rate is there printed out! Where as the withholding in your paycheck is hard to decipher.
