In GA the sales tax only applies to the purchase of new items. I assume it’s that way in other states as well, and I assume it would be that way with a federal tax.
I want Herman and his people to get out in front of this with simple examples of how this will be good for the little guy. Cain is a sales and marketing guy, he's got the country hooked with the 999 now he has to close the sale. Show the public how hard it will be to start raising the rates.
