Cal Thomas Praises Maverick Liberal For Backing Consumption Tax

[no1tovote4]

I was advancing the lottery not as a sole source of revenue, but merely as a means of collecting additional revenues supplemental to those produced by the current tax system The lottery, along with the other suggestions I outlined such as increased taxes on trucks and airlines, and the internet/mail order sales tax would improve the government's cash flow. Eventually perhaps income tax rates might be reduced if we can ever get the government to combine increased revenues with reduced spending and reduce the national debt in order to finally balance the budget.

Fair 'nuff. Then we generally agree. Evidently somewhere we have gotten our lines crossed.

why haven't they passed an internet sales tax yet? it wouldn't hurt the consumer that much, and we need the money for homeland security (so you can shop safely at home)
