[Sci-Fi]

Not true Hoot, I never said that there was a national sales tax on top of the sales tax collected by each state. You're twisting my words. The sales tax is collected and then distributed to the federal government even though it's supposed to go to the state. Do you honestly believe that the state gives the money where it's supposed to go? No, they don't. Assuming you pay taxes, they give it to the federal government who puts YOUR tax dollars to waste using the money on various projects totally unrelated to what it's designed to do.

We've seen countless Republican administrations waste money and increase the national debt.

And as to Jetpilot's post, you can clearly see here how judgmental Republicans are toward the poor which is very unfortunate. This might be a hard question for you guys but should someone who makes very little money have to be burdened paying taxes in addition to all of the other financial burdens they have?

Republican answer yes, but compassionate answer no, friendo.
