What idiocy? The fact that most of the people on this board are wearing the horse-blinders when it comes to what you pay in taxes?

Ask yourself this one question: How much do you make?

And no, it is not how much you take home; it is how much you make before taxes, payments, etc.

We need a national sales tax. We would get the money from the people who don't claim taxes (i.e. hookers, prostitutes, etc.), prices for goods would be lower since you wouldn't have to pay all those taxes that are occurred based on the passing of goods between different providers such as the guy who cuts the grain, the guy who makes the dough, the guy who packages it, the guy who ships it, and the store that stocks the bread. We have a hidden 22% SALES TAX that the average dumbass doesn't know they are paying. Lower and middle income families would come off like bandits, because they would get a check from the govt in the estimated form of sales tax they would have to pay for essentials at certain intervals. And you get to keep ALL your check! You don't want to support the govt? DONT BUY ANYTHING! Put your money where your mouth is!

I've wanted this since I was about 18 years old. It would work, bar none. Then people would HAVE MORE MONEY, the govt would have more money, we would still have Medicare and Social Security (even though it is a crock to begin with), and the economy would boom.

Since I agree with and many others agree with me that are economic professors and studiers of tax systems, I guess that makes us all idiots, huh?


The taxes right now are a ripoff. They rip off the rich, the SS taxes rip off black men, and taxes in general rip us all off.
