Where the heck did that comment come from, Dwood? Please elaborate on the "complete destruction."

Scandinavia is still ok
Also sales taxes are dumb and are inherently regressive, income taxes are a much better system
People that say sales tax is the way to go dont really understand who gets hit.
the guys that earn shitloads don't always buy shitloads... therefore you have a massive discrepancy in your tax revenue.
Sure you might get money from illegals, but the guys that earn billions that make up a very significant chunk of tax income end up paying fuck all comparatively.
Not necessarily. Sales tax would apply to businesses too (see: all corporations), not just individuals. As it is, the wealthiest don't really pay taxes. The money goes through their hands but it really comes from bottom because they defer their taxes as increased cost of the goods and services they produce. Subsidies and credits can be used to offset the cost being passed on but once again the tax revenue gets negated. Sales tax might run into the same problem which is why states have sales tax incorporated with personal income tax. I don't really think it's a good idea to elliminate income tax completely but getting rid of or reforming the IRS needs to be done. It's a money sink.
You're right. It's good to put the needy into hundred's of thousands of dollars of debt because then they can have a hundred bucks worth of food stamps.
Also rich people tend to buy multiple houses and will regularly switch between them, from what I remember you can avoid taxes with this unless they changed it recently.
You pay taxes on the houses.... you pay income taxes based on federal income tax laws and the state in which you reside... if multiple houses are owned, then whichever state you file your taxes to at the end of the year. I'm not 100% sure but that's the way I always thought it would be. Also if you own a company and sell product on the internet then sales taxes are based on where the company who owns the website supposedly sells from. So if I'm in Oklahoma and ship to Cali the person who orders from Cali only pays the Oklahoma income tax. Too bad there's nothing in that state. :P
Taxes can be avoided also if you own a company.... It's all write offs.
Actually, I dont think free speech is protected when used in a fraudulent way.
glad to see someone's catching on to what a joke america is to the rest of the world.
It's not entirely a joke, it's justto most of us because in nearly every other country on Earth, the populace can agree on at least some of the most basic issues, regardless of political beliefs. The US, on the other hand, is a fuckfight of states, counties, even down to districts of the one city where you'll have the hardest of the hard left and the hardest of the hard right, and they each think the other is working towards some nefarious goal. The North/South division still stands aside from one or two states, which is fucking remarkable. Granted it's blown out a lot now with more people moving into the South and all their dumb racist shit getting abolished, but in some places it is still entirely possible to find entire fucking communities who will wink and nudge and do their absolute best to make it painfully obvious they wish the result of the war had been reversed. Up North, you basically have the liberal heartland, and generally it shows (a lot of northern states are, as far as I can tell, a lot less gun-friendly than the south where ownership is a given).
The US functions like two entirely different countries led by one government rather than one country. It's astounding.
2 countries? More like ~5
