Would you also tax food, clothing, education and healthcare?
If a local government paves a road would there be a tax? Would corporate welfare be taxed?
Do you have any links that describe this tax plan.
The method of taxation we have now is totally screwed up. The government takes our money and gives it out in corporate welfare.
