Its not that simple. Those folk are already doing that and getting away with paying whatever sales tax is now.
But a national sales tax on consumption would hit everyone equally.
Plus this bill provided for credits each month for those at the poverty level and below refunding back any taxes paid thus making this a progressive tax instead of a regressive tax.
I'm a damn hard core liberal and I supported this tax.
Pay down the national debt and then use it to expand the social safety net.
We could also add a 1% tax to stock trades as well to stabilize the markets and raise the minimum wage to a living wage and index it to inflation to be adjusted daily to stabilize inflation.
A safe, predictable market.
A fucking 30% sales tax?!? These people are fucking idiots. >

Yeah it’s disproportionately hit wage earners, while corporate employees ride the stock valuations to even higher riches.
