I'm just saying that I'd rather have a higher sales tax than, for example, a higher income tax. My income is what it is. But sales tax I can control to a certain extent by being frugal and not buying a bunch of stuff I don't really need or finding a way to buy things that doesn't involve the sales tax. A sales tax has a greater impact on people who spend more, thus encouraging people to save, something we should be encouraging in this country.
