The devil is in the details but I love consumption taxes. In my opinion they are far superior to income taxes

    Maybe try looking up the word ‘regressive’ in the context of taxes. I doubt that will happen so here, maybe this helps:

    What Is a Regressive Tax?

    The term regressive tax refers to a tax that is applied uniformly regardless of income. Regressive taxes take a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from middle- and high-income earners

    So if you really want to fuck over poor people and benefit the wealthy, and obviously Republicans do, great way to do it.

      How to say you didn’t read the article without saying it. That’s covered in the article.

        Yes, and you apparently learned how to say you didn’t understand the article without saying it. It’s wildly unfair to people with less money and you’re still presenting it as a good thing.
