| Which is what I was getting to above. All three people go through the line and pay the same exact amount for the Coke...including sales tax...regardless of their income or ability to pay. We don't make one person pay a higher amount for the Coke or a higher tax, and, we don't allow another a discount based on income.
That's how it should be. No income tax and a universal sales tax with certain exceptions such as medicines, unprocessed food, etc. |
