A thought from the peanut gallery insists that if you charge tax on every piece of merchandise you buy domestically, instead of charging the tax you supposedly pay out of your income --- we wouldn't have people cheating on their taxes.
Imagine for a moment the supposed millions of illegal immigrants who aren't paying taxes, yet have jobs --- if we taxed them on purchasing items in our country with the money they make...
IF this were implemented cheating on taxes would drop drastically because you would have to pay it in order to get your merchandise, of course you would pay equivelent of what you're being charged on your income taxes but ponder for a moment --- with all of these people not cheating on taxes as they are able to now with these loopholes, we would have to pay a lesser rate --- like in insurance fraud, without it our rates would be drastically lower.
But let's be realistic, such a change couldn't happen because of the current system in place -- hey I have $100,000 in savings that you've already taken the income tax out of, now I have to pay it again when buying something?
Plus, this is the government, need I remind you how they could fuck up anything?
