Observe that what we have in the US is a society based on consumerism.
Then consider the adage that if you tax something, you will get less of it.
Note what our resident tax collecting advocate has opined as well. Tax something, you get less of it. So, by extension, tax income, you get less income, right? And making the taxes higher produces even less. Sounds about right
So, to be FAIR, and not punish anyone more than another, the best approach is that of either a Flat tax or National sales tax. EVERYONE pays, the more one makes or buys, they more tax they pay, NO LOOPHOLES
Someone now explain how that is unfair, please
