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?"

More money in our paycheck in Europe? Hahahaha - great joke!! In the UK we already have income tax on our earnings AND VAT on most items of just over 20%. Everything that isn't nailed down is taxed and forget trying to run your own business as the Govt have now increased dividend tax so I'm now being scuppered there. I get taxed on my savings - which I've already paid income tax on. I could go on but it's fucking depressing enough as it is.

And don't forget the extra "National Insurance" contributions that every worker has to pay (and every employer has to pay AS WELL for EVERY worker) which is an EXTRA tax just by a different name.
Oh, and Capital Gains Tax (because God forbid we actually make a gain that isn't taxed to the hilt).. and Inheritance Tax (Death/Estate Tax) which just taxes on EVERYTHING we have, that we've ALREADY been taxed on over and over...

In Sweden VAT is 25% on most goods and services (otherwise 12 or 6). But before that, if you have a salary, before taxes, the employer pays about 1/3 in taxes. Then you pay a third of what's left in taxes. Then if you've been good and earned more than roughly 40k USD/year, you also pay a national tax that's 20-25%. Then, of course, there are more taxes, but these are the main ones. Lovely huh? 😁 🔫

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.

It is the same game the Illuminati has been playing on folks since Washington. Different players, same Divide and Conquer chess board. There has been controversy surrounding every President since the inception of the United States. Study your history.
The puppet masters create "dis order" so the people will demand "order". The price of "order" always entails a handing over of control and loss of freedom on the part of the citizenry. Out of "chaos" comes "order" - THEIR order - their new WORLD order. ORDO AB CHAO.

Of course a REPUBLICAN introduces the most citizen friendly piece of legislation of ALL AMERICAN HISTORY. Democrats are total fucking shit and need to be lynched in the streets.
