How does a national sales tax in any way hurt the middle class?

Just some simple logic here...but

The rich are gonna spend the most $$$, so they're STILL going to be the main contributors of the tax. With the elimination of the income tax, the rich will spend MORE, which only sparks job growth, national sales, and progress. So you're ranting about a break for the rich doesn't work.

Secondly, and I know this is tough for you Shad, because it is for most far-left radicals...but with a national sales tax...people can decide for their own how much to give. If a middle class family is trying to save $$$, they can do so...become only wealthier, and prosper because of it. The poor can save too. You don't like this bill because...oh no...people have to be RESPONSIBLE for something! That's not the way you and the far left like it Shad. You'd rather put all the problems of the world in the hands of the government.

Also, if Argentina fails... that's because of bad leadership on their part. Name ONE country that follows your beliefs on socialistic economics that is a prosperous one. Name ONE. And don't even think of saying China, who is relying on Hong Kong's ability to not be government run to get all the recent prosperity it has. Cuba? Nope. Vietnam? Nope. Better yet, ask eastern europeans, who are tasting a free market for just the last decade, about their feelings toward your economic policies.

You fail on this. Socialism doesn't work because man is naturally greedy. He doesn't want to be equal with everyone else; he has goals and ambitions. That's why Capatalism DOES work.

Go to Cuba though Shad, maybe you can lead em to unseen glory, since you think you're that brilliant.
