What do you think about a National Sale tax to bail out the Medicare System?
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010What if we had a 1 cent sale tax through out the nation to raise revue to help bail out the Medicare System?
Then after we get that paid off, why not use the same sale tax idea to bail out Social Security System?
This would be a common sense approach?
the idea of having EVERYONE that buys something contribute to the mess is a good one…Local 1 cent Sales taxes have worked well all over this nation….this way EVERYONE that buys ANYTHING helps to get us out of this mess
the point made in several answers is that it would never end – it would go up…..Fix that in the language of the bill BEFORE it is passed
And also addressing some more of your answers that you have received….those in politics need to LEAD the way in the spending CUTS in their political office (salary – office staff – travel expenditures – etc…..)YES they DO…… HOWEVER….we can not WAIT for these politicians to LEAD us down a financial responsible path….We the People are the ones that shall take the lead…..
