9. Paid upon the consumption of goods and services.
Labor will be taxed. So if an entrepreneur sells services, his customers pay sales tax and he pays income tax. The laborer who is just trying to make an honest living gets squeezed between two tax structures.


The man who can keep money in his pocket keeps his money in his pocket. No tax for him. Ain't he the lucky one? The poor schmuck who has to spend every dime every paycheck and put off the rest of the bills till next time ... he gets taxed on every single penny. That's so fucking FAIR I just can't describe it.

It's a fucking STOOOOOOOOPID idea. Republican pablum.
