User Tax Options

[*Steven*]

An increased tax on everything we buy, with the removal of the income taxes. This way the less you spend/buy, the less you're taxed. Also, people like Bill Gates who make say 200,000$ a year on their salary can't avoid the taxes any more.

Go.

I don't think this is really debatable. The notion is just ridiculous. Tax issues are still issues, but if you want to speak realistically, you have to take into consideration of what America needs that require so much taxing. There needs to be a balance of taxing, as well, because otherwise citizens would get overwhelmed by the drastic increase in sales taxes.

If we were to get rid of income tax, how would you know if increasing sales tax will support our economy? Certain people have to live off by income taxes which includes accountants, agents, and tax lawyers. Theoretically, if it were abolished and you did raise sales tax, say, you were able to save 40 percent of your income to spend but the sales tax would also have to increase by 40 percent; therefore, a majority of transaction taxes would increase by that amount.
