So now the Republicans want to make billionaires pay even less in taxes. Even though billionaires pay less in taxes on the dollar than the bottom 50%.

"Montana has no sales tax and we don't need the federal government imposing one on us," said Mr. Tester. "House Republicans' plan to tack a 30% national sales tax on every good from gas to groceries would skyrocket costs for Montana's working families."
Rep. Sean Casten, Illinois Democrat, even claims the bill is proof that Republicans believe "your grocery bill is too cheap and that you need to pay an additional 30%."
Republicans say Democrats are misrepresenting their proposal. For one, they say, the bill would replace income taxes, payroll taxes, estate taxes, and gift taxes with a flat 23% sales tax — not 30% as claimed by detractors.
Rep. Buddy Carter, who introduced the bill this Congress, chalked up the 30% exaggeration to Democratic "fear-mongering." The Georgia Republican said that contrary to opponents' claims, his legislation would simplify the tax code and give citizens more control over how much they pay the government at the end of the year.

Of course it’s another means of grinding the masses under the heel of poverty. It’s punishing the productive while pampering the nonproductive. It’s all about catering to the most useless leeches while destroying good honest workers.
It’s already obvious to anyone with a brain how evil and destructive it is, so why are you lying about it?

I'm good with it, as long as the only things being taxed is 1) Natu Baby, 2) Beans, 3) Rice, 4) Fentanyl, 5) and Chimichangas.

As of right now retired people pay no federal income taxes on their social security benefits.
But after this passes they will have to pay at least 23% on all goods.

How are Republicans going to pay back all the tax cuts they borrowed money to give billionaires.
By taxing the **** out of the poor.
That's how.
