Achimp, you are Canadian, so I can tolerate that you are a completely useless fleshbag when it comes to the talk of taxation. But since I live in a country where the majority of the citizens would rather not live in a socialist state, I will break it down for even you to understand.
Now, Achimp, in America, we already pay a sales tax on items, along with state taxes and possibly city taxes. Now, what this program does is ELIMINATE the hidden taxes on the items. There is just a standard tax on everything you buy after you spend X amount of dollars in a year. This means that if you buy items in America, you pay taxes. You don't buy very much, you don't pay very much. Voluntary taxation. Very simple, very effective.
People will get ALL their check when they are paid. If they want to buy something, they pay for it and a standard national sales tax. The prices of items will be LOWER due to companies and handlers and anyone else that has shit to do with that product or service not having to pay taxes on every little aspect of it!
When I go to the store and buy a loaf of bread, there are taxes out the poop-chute on it. Taxes on the farmer selling the grains, taxes on the makers of the dough, taxes on the guys who make the dough into bread, taxes on the guys who package the bread, taxes on the shippers of the bread, and taxes on the stores that buy the bread. Now, I take my $1, which HAS ALREADY BEEN TAXED WHEN I GOT MY CHECK and I pay (I believe it is) 34 cents for the ADDITIONAL taxes put on the bread... How is that fair, sir?
Please explain to me how this is fair? If you even ATTEMPT to with a straight face, I advise you to ban yourself from voting in any election for the next 10 years, because it is obvious you are an idiot with no perception of reality.
Now, if we have a sales tax, it will tax people who spend. Who spends money that is not taxed? Pimps, whores, drug dealers, ect. People who make ILLEGAL income but never PAY taxes. So, when the pimp wants to buy his pimp-mobile, he has to pay TAXES on it! Fairness in a govt system! Wow, what a new idea!
