text: a new federal sales tax? a no in case you missed it the congress is controlled by the GOP, that will not happen.  our taxes are too high PERIOD,, we all pay far too much in taxes with an over bloated government at all levels, we can slash and still provide basic safety nets bud.  and its not business that failed, its the government that creates bad policies that do not allow business to succeed. , and as for your dollar claim well that is bs too, our low dollar has NOT seen some magic boost in our economy... you need to get educated over this usual left wing drivel you live in.. its time for government to get out of the way and reduce the burdens so businesses can prosper
