Help ratify the Liberty Amendment!

I do not like the idea of a national sales tax because I think that it inordinately hurts the poor and middle class.  A gallon of milk costs the same amount for Bill Gates as it does Joe Blow.  I believe cutting wasteful spending and reforming the income tax is a better idea.

Not if we provided a national rebate up to the poverty spending level through the Social Security Administration.

If you look at lifetime income, it's about as progressive as the system is now.

Shouldn't the idea be to get rid of bureaucracy.  A S.S.A. managing and rebating spending creates a bigger, more inefficient bureaucracy than the IRS.  Also, if we rebate only to the poverty level-The middle class gets screwed.  AGAIN
