I say: ...How do you keep somebody from selling something under the table(not charging the sales tax.) For instance,I have a lot of gold jewelry.The government does not know I have it.How is it gunna know if I sell it without taxing it?

There is always going to be those types of transactions. Painters, carpenters, etc etc will work under the table to avoid taxes. People sell things all the time at garage sales and they do not pay a sales tax, farmers sell their goods at a farmers market and you do not pay a sales tax, and people who own businesses will barder with other business owners. You will always have these type of situations, but those are small compared to the big picture. A national sales tax is the only fair tax system to have. I should have said that I am not in favor of such a system, but it is fair.
