The real solution is to reduce the size and scope of government and not elect jerkfaces like Sharpton and Obola in the first place.
A tall order either way.
HR 25 leads to reducing the size of federal government by removing the smoke and mirrors that are everywhere in legislation of income tax issues, and hitting consumers everyday where they see it up close even though prices stabilize to their current levels. A gallon of gas, a gallon of milk will still cost about the same or lower but the federal taxes paid will be on every receipt.
People in positions of power cannot escape a retail consumption tax unless it is never spent or invested. If it is invested, they may personally avoid the consumption tax but the investment products eventually reach the retail consumer market in myriad forms and there the retail consumption tax is levied.
There’s no way around it. All production and supply chains reach an endpoint at the retail consumption level. A retail consumption tax captures everything.
And for those few who wish to evade a retail consumption tax, they have to find, unlike the income tax, a willing party in the tax evading transaction and how do they know that a willing party is not an undercover federal agent performing a sting? Unlike the income tax where it takes ***one*** person with two sets of books to evade income tax, under a retail consumption tax it takes ***two***.
Knowing that more than 70% of all retail transactions are performed by about 3000 corporate retail chains that have computerized records of all transactions, the enforcement of a retail consumption tax is orders of magnitude more manageable and effective that a smoke and mirrors one-party income tax.
