Many states already pay an 8-9% sales tax. Adding on another 9% won’t stand. The economy needs cuts (not in medicaire or SS). Cut out the czars, the education department, the FDA, the Dept. of the Interior, foreign aid etc.
The gov’t is moving to allow foodstamps be approved for restaurant use. “Poor” people get free head start, while a mid-class family pays from 14-17K per child in child care. The free meals for kids has to be looked at. Many of these kids get two meals a day, while there obese parents (already on welfare) do nothing to care for the welfare of their own childen. Not to mention the billions of grants to bankrupt companies, just to get kickbacks to the RATS.
>>Many states already pay an 8-9% sales tax.
If you look at the max sales tax in the worst city or county of each state, 22 states have 8%+ sales taxes somewhere in the state.
If you look at statewide general sales taxes, NO states have 8%+, and only 6 have 7%+.
>>The economy needs cuts
I agree, and with a NST as part of the mix, even low-income voters will be more eager to lower that “9” by cutting spending.
The 9% is not just “added on” to the real economy as it stands now.
The plan includes several provisions that would put downward pressure on prices and would increase household income (by lowering income taxes).
