I just realized that all the fear-mongering from the Republican elite about Democrats raising the national sales tax is bunk.

Why would the Democrats risk alienating the poor and blue collar workers? They wouldn't.

Yep, I’ve been saying that the whole time

Because every tax is visible, and a large majority of democrat voters will be paying taxes, the plan is “booby-trapped” so they cannot raise the rates.

That’s a good point.
