I am sick of this double taxation

[mdbl]

I remember hearing right-wing morons like Neil Buttz (Boortz) on the radio spewing all kinds of crap about a national sales tax. The idea was to get rid of Fed taxes and have a sales tax only. Pres Dump, using all his tariff bullshit has learned he can impose a national sales tax on everything and still collect the same federal taxes. Thanks you maga assholes and other morons that voted for this!

1. and just to add injury to insult as the prices rise due to tariffs

the sales tax on those items rise because the cost of the tariff is figured into the sales price of an item.

Thus we get a state sales tax on the price of an item inflated by a tariff. Tax on a tax!

2. Similar problem in the real estate market

over inflated house prices causing constant increase in real estate taxes. My county is awash in cash and it's all flowing to who knows where.

3. Darn you. I grew up in Atlanta where that ignorant racist POS Boortz started. My blood pressure just spiked.

Rubes really bought into that "Fair Tax" and "9 9 9" BS.
