I noticed the part that nobody talks about on this bill:
and enacting a national sales tax
Do you know how fucked up that will be? Ask anyone in Europe who pays VAT. You'll get more money in your paycheck but they will place taxes on EVERYTHING!! In the long run you'll have less money because you're being nickled and dimed to death with sales tax. This is quite possibly the worst idea ever. How about: "GET RID OF THE INCOME TAX AND NO NEW TAXES?"

We already pay sales tax of some sort. A national sales tax (if payroll taxes are eliminated) wouldn't be a big deal. If I think I am taxed too much I don't buy a dvd player. But, government must live within it's means for this to work. Without a balanced budget any tax eventually destroys liberty.
So, you're an inventor. You come up with a new DVD player. You raise money and bust your ass to build a company to manufacture and sell these new DVD players. Then, the Government steps in and says "Sorry, there's a 15% tax on buying new DVD players". WTF? What part of the business did the Government contribute to? Where were they during all the hard work to build the company? They show up at the end to fuck the manufacturer and the consumer. It's not fair to entrepreneurs and businesses (or consumers).

That's what they ALWAYS tell you as they slip the noose around your neck. "We won't tax you! It's only the rich people!". So, you figure, "I'm not rich. Who cares?! Let them do it!" A few years later, they want some more money. So, they start to expand the program. Now, it becomes a tax on all goods, any home, and every day items. Too late now. They got you by the balls and there's not way to go back. Their job is to tax the shit out of you in as many ways as possible for as much as possible. Welcome to slavery. The only solution is to get rid of taxes. There is no such thing as a "good tax". The state always uses it in evil ways.

That's the whole point of the bill, you nincompoop!
No Medicare, SS, business tax (business to business sales aren't taxed), income tax, or payroll tax. Its all replaced by a sales tax that is only paid once on each item (used house/car? No tax). Illegals can't get out of it by getting paid under the table. If you don't buy anything and save everything you make, you pay negative taxes. It gets rid of tax returns and the IRS.

Love the bill but where is returning the coining of money back to the congress? Where will the gov't get money to pay for all their freebees?
