Sales taxes are a terrible idea because they hit the poor the hardest. We've already been taxed to death through inflation and the massive increase in the cost of living compared to last year. We can't afford anymore. Take money from those that can afford it, not those that cannot. Remind me again how many trillions are parked offshore by the rich and why the best idea they can come up with is to charge someone that is unemployed or making minimum wage %5 more for a can of Coke.
