You will never see a national sales tax. Why? Because of the stealth factor. The way income taxes are gathered now, most people are not too aware that the criminals are stealing 30% right "off the top". Can you imagine every time you buy an item that in addition to the state sales tax of 5 - 10%, the feds add another 30% or so? No, there would be blood in the streets and cries for some serious "tax reform"! And besides, even the "poor", the demonRATS vermin voters would have to shell out the tax, and we certainly can't have that, now can we?

That kind of visibility would be a bad thing?
The real problem is that government at all levels spends too much. And these "tax and spend" politicians will continue to do so until We the People get annoyed and grab them by the short hairs.
Once we do that, their hearts and minds will follow, and we will force them to reform the tax code.
The only way we can do this is with massive citizen involvement. Are you willing to get involved?
