Subject: National Sales Tax

Comment: To Whom It May Concern (which is ALL of us),

I fail to see the down side of a National Sales Tax.

(other than the 1 million people it would put out of work
who earn their living trying to negotiate the current tax system)

Eliminate food and health care from the equation
and permit people to pay the taxes they want to
pay if they choose to buy the item. The price of everything goes up, but so does your take home pay!

For those who INSIST that any "fair" tax system
should PENALIZE people who work more and earn more,
this should make them happy.
I will pay more taxes because I will spend more money.

What is "fair" about allowing my neighbor a
write-off that I am not allowed simply because I
make more money? Should I also have to pay more for
the same loaf of bread he buys? Should I have to pay
more for a shirt just BECAUSE I have the money?
Of course not. This is insanity pure and simple.

National sales tax.
Pay as you go.
Simple, easy, fair.......I beg you!
