The Poulan Weed-Eater consumption tax model

This would help the average American see where his tax dollars are being spent.

Just being able to make the connection between their tax dollar payments and where their taxes actually go would be an enormous help in getting people to see what we are dealing with nowadays in real-time.  Today, people are just being fed distorted information from both sides merely and purely for tactical political gain and advantage.

There could be some limited exclusions for people below the poverty line, since so much of their resources go towards the basic necessities of food and shelter. But that would be about it. No longer would people be able to manipulate this nation’s arcane and byzantine tax laws to their advantage. Everyone would clearly know and see what their tax liability is on each and every purchase and receipt printed out at the check-out counter or at the closing of a purchase of a home or automobile.

Imagine seeing the taxes you will pay on the next t-shirt you buy for your kids from Wal-Mart, which will have this emblazoned on it:

‘My Boomer Parents Got Everything They Wanted During Their Lifetimes and All We Got Was This Enormous $24 Trillion National Debt to Pay Off For the Rest of Our Natural-Born Days!’
