<p>“For example, consider gasoline excise taxes paid by truckers delivering goods–those taxes get passed forward to consumers in the form of higher prices on the delivered goods they buy.”</p>

<p>Yes, items like food. Guess who is paying for the 10s of billions per year in FOOD STAMPS? hint; it’s not the bottom half of tax filers nor the underground economy. What began as a small program to help working poor to temporarily be assisted - is now a massive style welfare system which has created millions of new govt dependents, and it loaded with fraud and other abuse - a program growing by hundreds of millions of dollars every year</p>

<p>On the issue of sales tax EVERYONE pays it, (except buyers of bootlegged mafia goods) - it doesn’t put a dent in the massive tax load being carried by relatively few taxpayers</p>

<p>Actually for the most productive in America, those hitting the top 2 highest brackets INCOME TAXES in general far exceed any other tax - and to just discount that is not supported by the facts</p>

<p>If the Dems in Congress want European style socialism Part 2 in the United States - then let them say so - and stop with the pretenses</p>

<p>Good call, EmanuelGoldstein.</p>

<p>If the SAT tax works, they can proceed to a talent tax on musicians, gymnasts, artists, and ballet dancers. :/</p>

<p>And we all know how rolling in the dough they are.</p>

<p>You liberals seem a bit slow in the uptake on this one. Do you not recognize that this is a thinly veiled scheme to get a windfall rebate for GW. </p>

<p>[Of course Al Gore and John Kerry will be in line right in front of him.]</p>

<p>only in the never-never land of academia can they come up with ideas this IDIOTIC</p>

<p>CITATION, of all the conservatives on CC, your right wing hysteria is the most predictably over-the-top.</p>

<p>Congratulations.</p>
