Ummmm, yes.

This is basic tax theory, I shouldn't have to explain it.

Current income taxes are on a graduated scale.
The more you make, the more you pay as a percentage.

With a sales tax that percentage difference goes away.
Everyone pays the same rate. Big benefit number 1 to the rich.

Depends on how it is structured, although that causes additional
problems of its own. For instance most state sales taxes don't include
most food, housing, health care, etc. This addresses these issues to a
certain extent.

Agreed.

Reminds me of every proposed flat tax plan.
They all have "unspecified offsets".

Specify the offsets and we can talk. Until then
it's a huge benefit to the rich.


At least that's what you been told to believe
