[EverydayAmerican]

I propose that the following 6 policy proposals, about adjusting the national sales tax get merged:

End Federal Income Tax in favor of a National Sales Tax

There is no such thing as a Corporate Tax, the only people who pay taxes are the end users, who purchase the items. Companies roll any tax rate into the price of goods. The entire purpose of Federal Tax Law is for politicians to hide handouts, not just to corporations, industries, or institutions. With a standard percentage sales tax Congress would be forced to account for every percentage of tax, just like your local city has to account for every percentage. Furthermore, a sales tax would capt…

Revoke Income Tax: replace with tariffs and national sales tax

Replace income and capital gains tax and replace them with tariffs and a national sales tax(consumption tax). Exempt discount brand “essential” products from the sales tax. This will allow the poor, and all people, to be able to avoid taxes and save money whenever they choose. Consumption tax incentivizes the saving and reinvesting of money back into companies and investments. update Here is a good book on the subject: The FairTax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS By Neal B…

Abolish the IRS

Abolish the IRS. Move to a consumption tax system. All other taxes (income, property, death, etc.) vanish. Give people the choice how they spend their money and are taxed. Save your money, pay less taxes. Spend all your money pay some taxes. Those who spend vast amounts more than others will pay more taxes when they buy that next car, boat, or plane. There would be a standard refund based on household size and no tax on food, medical care, and household necessities. Sales tax would be higher th…

FairTax

The FairTax Act is a proposed tax reform in the United States that would replace the current federal income tax, payroll tax, and estate and gift taxes with a national retail sales tax. Here are some of the positives often cited by its proponents: Simplicity: It eliminates the need for individual income tax returns, simplifying tax compliance for individuals and businesses. Transparency: Taxes are collected at the point of purchase, making the tax system more transparent to consumers who can…

Add this one as well please

End Federal Sales Tax in favor of a Citizen Tax

It seems most every tax, whether it be income, sales or property, are all built on scale. The more income you make, the more income tax you pay. The more things you buy, the more sales tax you pay. The bigger your home, the more property tax you pay. Does taxation make sense to be modeled this way? As a citizen of the United States, we all benefit from the same federal services; security, judicial, health, environmental, transportation to name a few. If I double my income, I don’t benef…

I am for auditing The Fed with Dr. Ron Paul over.
The audit, I think that the tariffs that we put on countries
Would help out as well as a sales tax to help fund the government like a flat tax on everything we buy.We need to get rid of the I.R.S all together the way the the government is set up now is set up, so people will get in debt with the I.R S And they have the power to take everything you own. We need to take the power from the federal government and put it into everything we buy, and these other countries that don’t want to on a level trading ground, if they don’t want to trade fairly, then we put a tariff against them to help fund our government, and when they start trading thoroughly, we will bring the tariff down and put more more of a tax in the fair tax, so we can help fund the government.The only thing that should deducted from my paycheck. Each week is social security and Medicare point. I think in my opinion that this will let the government know how much money they got to spend each month and they can’t go over it if they don’t want to balance the budget and come together like responsible human beings for the betterment of the united states then we can physically
Put them on a budget. This is how much you had coming in this quarter. This is how much you can spend this quarter and not a penny more
