Really the TAX is MUCH more that just sales tax...

Total tax on most items being about 40%... hidden in taxes the mfg has to pay.

something called the FAIR TAX PROPOSAL

Fair Tax proposal would get rid of those hidden taxes. It would also make those currently not paying into the tax system that are getting "free" medical care, etc, pay into the system...

(Note: illegal aliens running across the boarder in the middle of the night get free medical care etc... "free" for them, but YOU are the one that ends up paying their bill at some point in the form of increased taxes, reduced services, increased costs...)
