re: #21 HappyWarrior

I’ve long been of the thought that when Republican candidates take stances like this that the Dems should hammer away at them. I remember hearing that I guess it was Jim DeMint taking a position of eliminating the income tax and imposing a high sales tax. Such a stupid policy if you ask me since the poor and middle class will be screwed by a high sales tax. Yeah a high sales tax will be an annoyance but not a harmful policy to upper class voters.

That is exactly the idea of such proposals: shift the tax burden toward the poor, and away from the wealthy.
