Sure, I can agree with you; however, the other taxes must go if you are going to a single tax. A National Sales Tax.

Of course a National Sales Tax could be cumulative to the point that -------at each step of the way the National Sales Tax becomes a part of the price of the item and is taxed again.

George Bush Senior lost on the basis of his promise "Read My Lips No New Taxes". There is still a large portion, the amount I don't know, who do not want 'new taxes' unless there is a change in the total structure.

In other words a National Sales Tax could very well become like a 'value-added-tax' where each step of production and consumption is taxed.

I believe that Obama would just love to get his fingers on a 'National Sales Tax" ---------just think of all of the people and money he could control-----with promises of more jobs.

Just think what a National Sales Tax on an automobile of average $25,000. would be-----------10% would be $2,500 then add to that the State Sales Tax , for discussion sakes-------5%. That would be 15% of the $25,000 or would be $3,750.00 for a $25,000. car in taxes .

No thanks no more money to the Federal Government-----------I want the $ to stay local and State and used for the purposes of each State.
