The national sales tax would replace the Fedieral Income Tax.
Local governments need to retain as much power as possible.
A flat sales tax would also eliminate politicians trying to manipulate behavoir through taxes. IE: Sin taxes,all loopholes,death tax,and especially TAX CREDITS.
Speaking of Tax Credits, what an oxymoron. A tax is money confiscated from you by the Gvt. Credit is when you borrow money and pay it back at a set interest.
So a Tax Credit by difinition is the Gvt taking your money and then lending your money back to you to be paid back with interest.
Yep, sounds like Washington!
> That sounds like a good idea I hadn't considered a national sales tax. Would it be in addition to state or local sales taxes or would the feds dole out the money to the states.

> > No, my friend, a national sales tax is the way to go. If you make food (groceries not eating out) and medical exempt(this way it wouldn't hurt the truly poor) and make the tax about 6-7%. Just think of the billions of dollars lost just in the illegal drug trade alone. Not to mention all the people working under the table(especially illegal aliens) who would have to pay taxes every time they buy something.
> > Just think, NO ACCOUNTANTS, NO RECORDS, NO IRS SIEZURES, NO GOVERNMENT INVASION OF PRIVACY, NO REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH, NO TAX FORMS TO DEAL WITH THAT CHANGE EVERY YEAR, AND IT'S FAIR FOR EVERYONE.
