at each step of the way the National Sales Tax becomes a part of the price of the item and is taxed again. MJ, that's called a 'value added tax' and we wouldn't want that. a national sales tax would mean that only the end product was taxed.

Cain: Black community 'brainwashed' into voting for Dems By: CNN's Kevin Liptak September 28th, 2011 politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com Washington (CNN) - The one African-American running for the GOP presidential nomination said Wednesday the black community was 'brainwashed' for traditionally siding with liberal politicians. "African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view," Godfather's Pizza executive Herman Cain said on CNN's "The Situation Room" in an interview airing Wednesday between 5-7 p.m. ET. "I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it's just brainwashing and people not being open minded, pure and simple." Cain went on to explain that his interactions with African Americans led him to be optimistic about his own chances with the demographic. "This whole notion that all African-Americans are not going to vote for Obama is not necessarily true," Cain said. He continued, "I believe a third [of African-Americans] would vote for me, based on my own anecdotal feedback. Not vote for me because I'm black but because of my policies." Cain also weighed in on the recent chatter surrounding Chris Christie, saying the recent reports the New Jersey governor is reconsidering a run for president were hurting the electorate. "It's not insulting as much as it is a disservice to the American people," Cain said. "Chris Christie has been saying for a long time he's not interested in running. The media is trying to create a story by sucking Chris Christie into race, just like they made a story by sucking Rick Perry into the race." Cain said the media should focus on the candidates who have already declared their candidacy to give voters a better idea of the field.

In addition, if the $25,000 used to pay for the automobile comes from funds you had saved in earlier times and were net of federal income taxes, the new federal sales tax would in effect be a duplicate tax. Any savings, investments, etc. you have when the federal sales tax goes into effect and which previously had been federal-income-taxed, would be taxed again when used by you or ultimately by your heirs to purchase federal-sales-taxable items. This double taxation is never brought up when the Fair Tax group and other supporters are pushing the federal sales tax concept. 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 .
