23% sales tax; no fed. income tax

I'm still not grasping your point about some peoples' greed hurting others! Are you talking about the US as a capitalistic society, or do you target the oil and energy companies! Being wealthy is not a crime,nor is it wrong! In this society, the idea is to carry your own weight...most do,some don't. We have flawed systems in place for healthcare and jobless and homeless,but it's wrong to blame the rich for societys' ills....most likely it's the people who are respnsible for societys' ills.
