Lilred,
The National Sales Tax and the Flat Tax was proposed by the Republicans, which pisses me off.
The reason why you make less than a person in Michigan is because the cost of living is less in your area. That is why people that work in New York City make a heck of a lot more than people that live elsewhere in the country. A 700 sf condo costs $2,000 a month to rent in New York, and those are the really old places. So, if things cost 3 times more in Michigan than they do where you live, then people would get paid 3 times more in Michigan than where you live.
When I was in New York City several years ago for a deposition, I paid close to $15 for a slice of pizza and a soda. I almost had a heart attack until I remembered that the firm would be picking up the tab.
