    Yes, the rich fucking love no-income-tax schemes. Because that’s always followed by more-sales-tax-to-replace-lost-revenue schemes, which is demonstrably proven to move the tax burden from the obscenely wealthy to the other end of the economic spectrum.

    Our $800 billion war machine isn’t going to stop just because 80% of Americans don’t pay taxes anymore.

      You realize the rich would still be paying income taxes, as they make more than $150k… and they would be paying those sales taxes too.
