Well, here's the plan...
They are going to offer a "national sales tax" or some kind of equivalent, which will be "Graduated". This will not be to REPLACE the income tax, but will be "along side" the income tax. However, they will REDUCE the income tax or the Social Security (FICA) tax to pacify the people.
Now, in order for the SALES TAX to be GRADUATED, that means that you wil pay a certain amount of sales tax per purchase based upon your income bracket.
Oh, but there are a couple of "problems" with that scheme. (They create the problems, so they can offer "solutions" you see...)
Problem number one and number two are as follows - how in the world can anyone, especially vendors, know what your tax bracket is?
AND what will keep people from simply having "poor people" (who wouldn't have to pay a sales tax) buy their groceries et al for them (thus avoiding the payment of taxes...)
Well, it will be done through the DRIVERS LICENSE. THIS way, you bring your groceries, you scan the Driver's License, the SYSTEM dictates how much sales tax is to be charged. PLUS, the purchases are RECORDED in the DATABASE.
How this solve the problem of fraud?
Simple. There will be LIMITS on how much you may purchase of particular classes of items. Go over the limit, and you will be "disallowed" or ELSE charged a HIGHER tax.
Now, we were told the "Real ID is coming" but it is ALREADY HERE and HAS BEEN for YEARS. They are just phasing it in and pretending like it's all "new".
Barcode on the forehead, anyone?
