Please, please, please understand the reason I support a national sales tax is so Tax-Payers won’t be ignorant about the amount of taxes they are paying and because I believe our current system is broken. If the government needs to use smoke and mirrors to raise taxes, then the taxes shouldn’t be raised in the first place. Our federal bureaucracy is too large and a national sales tax would help drive that point home to American Tax-Payers by reminding them on a daily basis just how much money it takes to feed that bureaucracy. When it comes to being governed, ignorance is never bliss.
