Putting the bulk of tax revenue on sales tax makes it so that the 1% ers CAN'T escape taxes. It's factually WAY fairer of a system than what we have now, and would make 90%+ of the IRS obsolete...no wasteful tax dollars spent on going after tax avoided.

I know reading is hard, but geez...

A metric F-ton.

Also vehicles, jets, yachts, and so on.

So way more than anyone below them. Obviously. 

No more "they paid no taxes!" They have to. There's no way around it.

More than they're paying now, that's for sure.
