You guys still don't get it. Monkey Butler pointed it out beautifully, but I guess there are none so blind as those that will not see. The taxes due to different places (states, counties, parishes, etc) are going to become so confusing that the Federal Government is going to have to step in to help sort out the confusion, (as only they can). So they will become the collectors of the taxes, keep a portion for themselves for their trouble (administrative costs) and pass the rest along to the various states etc.
But you know, it's going to be soooooo hard to keep track.... wouldn't it be easier and more efficient if the tax was the same throughout the entire Country? I know...lets have a value added tax instead of a sales tax..that way it will be fair for everyone.... And they'll start off with a small VAT, but in a few years, after people get used to paying it, they'll start raising it.. 1-2% per year. Pretty soon it will be 10% of the cost of ANY item you buy, internet or in person. And we will NEVER get rid of it, it will simply be another yoke around our necks. Another source of revenue for the Government. I tell you, they are licking their chops, salavating over the thought of a national VAT. Don't believe me? Look at Europe, look at their VAT's. How they came into being, what they started with and where they are now... You're playing with fire guys, and we're all gonna get burned as a result..

Maybe going a bit off base here but since this IS the political forum I think anything is fair game.
List your favorite taxes... In order of most regressive to leastregessive. I'll start: Gas Tax Sales Tax Income Tax Wealth Tax The last one on the list is not currently taxed. You can have a bazillion dollars invested in municiple bonds, real estate, etc... and they have their own tax rules. What if we said that we need to look at your portfolio of holdings and then tax you at say 1% of your net worth.? Me, with debts like mortgage, credit cards, student loans, etc. I'd be negative. Look at any high level government official.. Obama, Kerry, Clinton, Franks, Dodd... See what thier wealth is and see what they pay on income. We are getting f***ked.
