Ahem. From a Canadian point of view, ie, where there is a natinal sales tax...


1. Shuts down the IRS along with it's 8 million word tax code.

Uh-uh. Still got the fuckers sending me all kinds of code type stuff every month and with threats that if I don't do it right, even though none of them could, I am subject to execution.

2. Provides real help for those folks at them bottom end of the scale.

Uh-uh. Those who can least afford to pay sales taxes are those who spend most of their income "surviving".

3. 45 sates all ready administer a slaes tax and could be used to facilitate in collection.

And they will want to be compensated for the collection.... another fucking tax.

4. Will keep business from going "off shore" as those things which are purchased as parts or components of a final product would be exempt.

Uh... that's why they go off shore and that's why the books look so much better. Why hire your brother-in-law for a fair wage when you can hire the kid down the street ?

5. No one would ever have to file a federal tax return.

Hehehehehe !!!! Good one !!

6. Rich folks can't use tricky accountants and lawyers to pay little of no taxes.

They will always pay little of no taxes. That's why they who they are.

7. There is uniformity.

Yes. Under all tax systems, the rich get richer and the poor get fucked.
