Also this tax applies to HOUSES and CARS.

If you buy a $100,000 house you have to pay $23K in sales tax? who can afford that? That means you'd have to settle for a $82K house. Also if you are a seller and your house if worth $100K you are NOT going to get that if people have to pay $23K in sales tax which mean you have to accept less money. And who is responsible for making sure the government gets that $23K, the buyer the seller? Who? How will that be enforced?

Can afford a $20K car but then you have to pay $4600 in sales tax? guess what now you buy $16K car. That good for the dealer and the salesman selling the car? That's good for the economy?

If this passes consumer spending will drop like a rock and consumer spending is 70% of the economy.

Gas is already $2 a gallon let's add 46¢ in sales tax.

This tax applies to food. Why should I have to pay a tax to EAT?
