a lot of people think it's unfair, as it would tax the poor more harshly then the current system--in which many get rebates/refunds without having paid a federal tax to begin with.
i personally do not want to pay 35% sales tax between state/federal if such a scheme were to be passed. you buy one big ticket item, and you'll have paid more in sales tax for that purchase than you would all year under the current system.
