Ok, you tax experts. Peaz splain sumffin'....


Feb 5, 2013, 4:27 PM

What is the down side to a federal sales tax?



Of course you would want to eliminate income tax.

hurts the economy


Feb 5, 2013, 4:30 PM

as people will tend to not spend to save on taxes

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Really?


Feb 5, 2013, 4:33 PM

I would think if you put more money in certain people's pockets they would definitely spend it.



People who invest and save for the future are always going to be more frugal.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Savings is the father of investment and production.


Feb 5, 2013, 4:36 PM

Investment and production are what drive the economy and future innovations.

The reason most people don't support a national sales tax in lieu of the web of taxes we have now is that it would require personal responsibility, something that is equally hated on both sides of the aisle.

"it would require personal responsibility"


But this is what we need more of.

Of course. But need is different than want. And want

Not a stretch to imagine that some people, especially those

already engaged in illegal activity, would suddenly be buying lots of stuff on the black market, especially if the sales tax was high enough.

Yeah. That huge black market for new Escallades. LOL***

TU multiple times.


I would wage to guess that this 47% you speak of are the same ones that I should be able to deduct off my taxes?

Re: 47% of American voters would suddenly become


Feb 5, 2013, 5:17 PM [ in reply to 47% of American voters would suddenly become ]

So these 47% don't pay state sales tax, property tax, payroll tax, or gas tax? Interesting.

Poor people would pay tax then.

That's the difference.

"Poor" people (as defined by US standards, which is filthy rich compared to most of the world) consume the most social services and pay in little, to none.

The revenue consumers are outnumbering the producers.***
