In some ways, a sales tax is better than other taxes because those who consume less, pay less, so it encourages people to shop less and spend less. It can also encourage people to buy more stuff secondhand to avoid paying the tax.

I have always wanted a mandatory" voluntary" tax for people who say this!
at the end of the year they estimate what the normal person earning ypour income spends and apply the tax
that gives the money the country needs leaving me alone to feed my kids without state help win -win
one year our state over collected taxes and the powers that be did not want to retun the money as it would not do anyone any good it was "not going to buy you a car,just enough to replace a muffle" funny they used that example as 2 days earlier my Dh had told me the muffler was shot ohn his work truck and we had to replace it
I hate politicians trying to steal my muffler ;-) and they do not live the way every one else does and do not realize we need our own money for things ,like mufflers!
