>> I am sure you can see how horribly regressive the tax is. If you object to a fuel tax, as I think you do, I am sure you would find this one even more objectionable. My objection was to the use of the term "food tax". It was needless nitpicking on my part. Of course it is regressive, and I do object to it. I do prefer sales taxes to income taxes, but with adjustments to remove the regressivity for poor people from the sales tax. I would eliminate the income and payroll tax entirely in favor of a NST with credits for essential items for living. Something like the Fair Tax would be great for America.
