Opposition Grows To National Sales Tax Trial Balloon

LOONEY LEFT REPORT

The prospect of a national sales tax looms in Washington, but opposition is growing.

As lawmakers toy with the idea of an across-the-board sales tax on just about everything, tax reform advocates are starting to drum up opposition with the same fervor they employed during last month's anti-tax tea parties.

The idea of a national sales tax was once unlikely. But now that the federal government is doling out billions in stimulus spending and bailouts, and looking for billions more for health care reform, the prospect could be gaining some traction.

Correction: The federal government is doling out trillions.

Let's see. We are paying local, city and sales taxes. We are paying taxes and fees in water, electric, gas, telephone and trash bills. We are paying fuel taxes. We are paying automotive taxes. We are paying state sales taxes. We are paying state income taxes (well, some people are lucky to live in states without income taxes). We are paying federal income taxes. We are paying Medicare taxes. We are paying Social Security taxes. (Did I leave any out?) Now they want to possibly add a federal sales tax?!

To you Obama "hope & change" dumb-asses who voted Democrat last year: Is this the hope & change you wanted? (Just asking.)
