[QUOTE=Vern Humphrey;657734][QUOTE=Allen;657151]I agree that taxes should be paid in the form of sales tax. That way everyone pays.
Because the poor buy more, a higher percentage of their income. I have a very small income, but I also own property and my property taxes plus sales taxes combined are almost 66% of that income. How many poor people pay that much of their income.
Sales taxes are regressive -- the poor pay more, percentage-wise than the rich.
