Doc, if you remember the name of that senator I'd like to know. Going to an all sales tax system is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. And, absolutely puts those at lower incomes and the middle class at a disadvantage. Reality is the lower your income the higher percentage of it goes to payment of goods and services which would be highly taxed under such a system. The upper middle class and wealthy are able to save and invest more of their income, which would be tax free.

BTW, there are states, Oregon is one, that do not have any sales tax.
