A national sales tax would mean that the poor and middle class would pay a greater percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthy because the poor and middle class would have to spend most of their money every year just to live and by spending the money they would be taxed.
OK...I know I aint the brightest crayon in the box...but I'm poor. ALL my friggin money goes to livin..livin as in..electricity, phone, gas, babysitters etc.
So why in the hell should I pay more taxes at the end of the year when I already pay out the ass fer em all year long? Not to mention that folks in Michigan pay 3 bucks fer a loaf of bread versus Virginia's 1 buck. Why should I make a lesser wage than folks in Michigan but pay the same sales tax rate? Again...bullschiet.
The rich put their money in accounts and crap so they aint gotta pay taxes!
None of this makes much sense to me.
