I'll bet that the industries which depend on "new" sales will have a conniption if this comes to pass.
Just imagine if everyone wanted to buy used cars to avoid the taxes.
Remember when some or other east coast state put a special tax on pickups? No pickups were sold until the tax was repealed! People bought cars, or went to other states for their truck purchase, or bought from private parties.
I predict that Detroit et al. will fight this tooth and nail.
To say nothing of H&R Block.

(It's good on paper. The man in the street loves it. The powers that be hate it. It won't happen.)

Prices of taxable goods won't change. Spend ten minutes at fairtax.org or salestax.org.
FWIW, HRBLockhead supports this measure.

I dunno that Detroit would be all that much against it. I used to sell cars, and most people want a new one. They dont want to buy other peoples problem rigs. I could be wrong tho...JFK
