Subject: National Sales Tax

Comment: As a self-employed 20 year old and college student, I am a strong supporter of the national retail sales tax. I believe that it is a fairer, less complicated solution to our current collection system. By next April, I will owe the IRS thousands of dollars that I could have easily paid through my everyday consumption and investment for my business. I am my own boss, and I hate making less productive pursuits just to take advantage of the current complicating tax shelters in place. Also, by making taxes solely consumption based, it will force those millions of nonfilers and "income-fixers" to pay into the system and make it fair for everyone. Help this country grow by taking away the disincentives of making more money and give the average American the incentive to produce more and live the American dream.
