True, but to me the only way for a national sales tax to work instead of income tax is if you tax basically all non-essential items. Don't tax groceries and toilet paper or medicine, but if you go out to eat there would be a tax on it. Put the tax on beer and soda and foods that are luxury items. People could still buy used, but I know a lot of illegals that go to a Mexican restaurant near my house (they make the best fucking nacho ) they would be taxed on their dinner there or when they buy their beer and cigarettes and cowboy boots and a lot of other things.
