[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 513338, member: 5831"] The consumption based sales tax is the best thing we could do. You get 100% of your check whether your a $7 per hour worker or a million dollar CEO. You decide how and when to spend the money and therefore how and when to pay taxes. If you are frugal and shop once a month or once every couple of months for things then the money sits in your account making interest. If you save all year long and shop for clothes, suits, Costco fo non-perishables as well as car and home improvements then you can really lower your taxes. The bigger picture here is that now ALL of the people in our country will now pay taxes and not just a small segment. As it is now many groups do not pay taxes due to not actually being on the IRS books for making an income in the USA. Others have tricked, lied or worked the system, i.e. corporate lobbyist, to not pay any taxes despite making a lot of money. The lower class in many cases pay no taxes yet get many of the services and tax write-offs! #1 [COLOR=red]No more tax write-offs.[/COLOR] That includes corporations, government, churches, and charities! UPS brings in 30 billion dollars they KEEP 30 billion dollars. If they buy toilet paper, oil, gas, trucks, tape, planes, electricity, then they pay taxes that way!

The actual consumption tax rate will be lower than you think once you realize how much money will now be flowing in from all of those that have not been paying. This would solve all of our tax problems! [/QUOTE]
