Why would it be discriminatory???

All the rich folks can take trips and do all kinds of things and it's all tax deductible. I hear liberal loonies whining about all the loop holes the fat cats get.

You consume, you pay tax. What's the problem????

"You seem to be talking about a graduated national sales tax as opposed to a flat tax on income. That would be even more discriminatory to the middle class and working poor. "

I think it could easily be set up so that its burden would not fall unfairly on the poor. But the problem is that it may destroy the economy.
