Be careful what you wish for. Every change in the tax code causes repercussions. Think about it. What do you think your house will be worth if you have to pay a sales tax when you sell it? If you can't deduct your mortgage interest? Would you ever again buy anything in NYC if you had to pay city, state, federal and maybe excise tax? Of course they'd start taxing everything sold through the internet.Ah hah, that's what they're after. They'll compromise on a sales tax for all interstate goods. Think of all the money the dims will have to spend...at least until we have a major depression that the new taxes cause.

then according to you, the dims would SUPPORT the sales tax, right? why dont any of them now?

HR2525 exempts all used items. Your house might drop in price do to the expected drop in cost for new homes.

I'm not being smart. But we do have to finance the nation. What would be the best and fairest way of doing that?
