Stop telling everyone who disagrees you that they are “siding with the left”. Because nobody on FR does. You won’t change any minds with tactics like that.
Go ahead and put in a national sales tax, no prebate. That would be preferable to what we have now. Of course, once the Dems take power again, we’ll get both the income tax and the NST will stay.
The rest is hogwash.
One reason I'm against a national
sales tax is because I fear that it would be mutated into a progressive tax based on (a) your income, and (b) the item being bought/sold… your income could easily be provided (along with your healthcare info) by a microchip in the right hand. (The other reason is that it would utterly cement Wickard v. Filburn and its terrible assertion that all in-state commerce is regulable by Congress.)
A rebate is a tax cut. I want my tax cut!
If you are against my rebate, then you are against my tax cut!
Now tell me how it is conservative of you to take away my tax cut!
