Once Considered Unthinkable, U.S. Sales Tax Gets Fresh LookYou folks who voted for this fucker didn't think YOU were one of "the rich", did you!
With budget deficits soaring and President Obama pushing a trillion-dollar-plus expansion of health coverage, some Washington policymakers are taking a fresh look at a money-making idea long considered politically taboo: a national sales tax.

What I'm trying to say here is that if this shit passes, everything you buy will now have a federal sales tax tacked on to it along with any state sales tax you may or may not already pay.

Well, since no one reads the other one, I figgered i better put it here.
Well, I guess if you can tax soda pop, then a national sales tax can't be far behind. But shit, I already pay 33% in income tax alone, without property tax, sales tax, auto tag tax, and on and on. Soon there won't be enough left for me to live on.
It's getting a bit out of hand. The assholes needs to learn how to manage what they have already.
