MFFL- more fair way to do sales tax is to tax each item. Cheaper items are taxed at a lower rate and more expensive items are taxed at a higher rate. Thus the guy who buys the BMW pays a higher tax rate than the guy who buys a pair of shoes at Wal-Mart.
That actually doesnt sound like a bad idea- it is based on what the Democrats have beleived all along.. The rich should pay more taxes, they can afford it!! Simple...

I would agree with you somewhat on this reeds.... except I think a national sales tax should be capped..... or have a minimum price tag before it kicks in....
So the person that buys the shoes at walmart may not be taxed after all. Think of it as a luxury tax.
But as dooby said, I don't think I want the IRS becoming the sales employee at your local 7-Eleven.
