You're absolutely right, Chimp. I had the misfortune of working in retail for quite a few years, and in New York, we used to have a 7% sales tax on items. People were outraged, so they ditched it, but every County had the option of maintaining one. Mt County left one at 3%, and people STILL bitched like they were being oppressed.
What are the proponents of a broad sales-tax over income taxation suggesting, 12%? 13%?? HA! Try selling that to people, no pun intended.
