They are the poor. The richer you are the smaller percentage of your income is spent. So a Sales tax is inequitable, discriminatory gettting the most tax out of the lowest income group. Better to just leave the $8 per hour wage earneer out of the Tax mess.

Perhaps $10 per tax return. That way the elected will represent the people instead of representing the campaign contributors You've done that yMr president in your own campaig. Make it illegal for anyone not to do it. Americans need to be given back their country. That will enable them to bring change.
