Consider a $10,000 purchase, taxed at 23%. The $30,000 earner pays 7.6% of their income in sales tax. The $100,000 earner pays 2.3%. Yell BS all you want, the numbers don't lie.

That is the appeal to the people with money who are arguing against you...If you are a business owner, just look at the things that would be exempt...The company car(s)...The (business) vacations, etc...

Let's face it...This regressive tax is good for some of the people...A progressive tax is good for the rest of the people...It's a matter of who can do a better con job on who...

There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to shift the tax burden to the working poor, I suppose, but they should at least have the fortitude to admit that's what they want.
