The sales tax shills claim government employee's are already taxed so the sales tax is a no brainer...what they fail to disclose is government employees pay taxes out of their pay...the sales tax ON wages, benefits, etc. is a NEW tax IN ADDITION to/ON their pay which amounts to an increase in the cost of government with a first year 30% increase in "any government" (city,county, state federal) payroll...Not to mention the sales tax on government purchases.
Any clues where the money for those hidden taxes would come from?
