Republicans love regressive taxes. Can you imagine the starvation a 30% sales tax on groceries would create?
Thank heavens for a Democratic Senate.
Yes, the Republicans. They have others asking stressfully "how are we going to pay for that?" They act as if they never heard of sales tax and do not buy anything. Also, an included sales tax increase in the vote takes effect later having you ask yourself where in the hell that came from.
Excessive sales taxes lead to a thriving black market economy and a poverty-stricken administration.
Far better to have a reasonable sales tax percentage, and then impose punitive penalties, including confiscation of assets and/or gaol★ for non-declaration of any tax liable activity.
★ Non English speakers:- read Jail for gaol !!!
Both the US and UK right wing government members are becoming more and more openly Nazi in their thinking and ambitions.
