Their programs generally work because EVERYONE pays in other countries. A large part of our budget comes from income taxes. And a huge part of the work force pays ZERO in taxes. A HUGE amount of money goes untaxed because its not on a W2 or a 1099.
Nothing is fair to everyone. We have to do whats needed. A sales tax is a HUGE part of whats needed. Or we can keep pushing "feel good" taxes that dont raise nearly enough money, and just keep increasing our debt regardless of WHO is in office.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
