Plus a sales tax forces the government leeches to pay some taxes.
Yep. That's the idea. Get EVERYONE into the tax game. If the freeloaders want more free stuff, they're going to have to help pay for it. Maybe they'll think twice before spending everyone elses....er......THEIR money.
Share the "Sacrifice".
It also forces the government to increase welfare checks to cover the sales tax. Those “leeches” aren’t spending their own money. They’re spending ours. A sales tax makes them spend more of our money and it goes straight to the government. Government paying itself a portion of its revenue.
Not so sure about that sales tax ...
I don’t like new taxes but others I talk to think a sales tax is a more “fair tax” that those living on welfare and such would pay.
