braisler, then I apologize for going on and on about it. It's true that what you do or don't has very little impact on the economics of this country, but there are millions more like you and me, and what we do collectively has impact.
I was looking at my expenses and my biggest single expense is rent. I'm not buying anything: do I pay sales tax on that? Because if not, shit, I'm for this plan too. What about when I buy a house? Do I pay tax on the whole cost of the house when I get the mortgage? Does the bank pay it, because they own it until I pay them off? And I'm not alone. I would guess that housing represents a third of expenditure for most families.
