Ok that’s BS. That probably sounded better in your head. No I don’t care what WaPo or other articles you care to drop say. This is a worn out tired socialist narrative.Sales taxes are terribly regressive. The poor, who need to spend all of their money on goods, pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthy do, who have the luxury of excess money to save and invest.
On a consumption tax the percentage is fixed. Period. I make more I spend more. But my percentage is fixed.
What is different is savings and other surplus. I make more, I have the possibility to save or maybe save more.
This worn out diatribe is a cornerstone tenet of socialism. To each according to need. You like it? Move to a socialist country.
