I'll bet that the industries which depend on "new" sales will have a conniption if this comes to pass.

Just imagine if everyone wanted to buy used cars to avoid the taxes.

Remember when some or other east coast state put a special tax on pickups? No pickups were sold until the tax was repealed! People bought cars, or went to other states for their truck purchase, or bought from private parties.

I predict that Detroit et al. will fight this tooth and nail.

To say nothing of H&R Block.

Prices of taxable goods won't change. Spend ten minutes at fairtax.org or salestax.org.

FWIW, HRBLockhead supports this measure.

I dunno that Detroit would be all that much against it. I used to sell cars, and most people want a new one. They dont want to buy other peoples problem rigs. I could be wrong tho...JFK
