13. Perhaps my logic IS too simple but
SALES tax = purchases (everyBODY needs the basics).

INCOME tax = salary (NOT income via stock dividends).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a National SALES Tax would benefit the ultra wealthy even more than the National INCOME Tax system we have now?

Therefore, we'd have an even larger gap between the rich and the poor. The middle class may still hang-on via the skin of their teeth.
