surely they wouldn't tax food, altho where i live, there is a state sales tax on food.
also, 23% sounds incredibly high to me. especially when i factor in that i already pay 10.% in local/state sales tax. that's a lot of money!
i wish they could simplify the tax code, just think if we no longer had to pay all those folks at the irs!
maybe they could send out 'tax cards'-depending on what level of income you are-they scan your card before you check out at the store, and the register figures your sales tax based on the bar code on your card.
hell, if they can use those stupid cards at grocery stores to store info on what kind of peanut butter you prefer, they could do this.
