@beastmasterx7091 Funding the government totally through sales tax would break the poorest people, first. It's a regressive tax. The super rich are sitting on most of their millions and billions, not buying stuff with it.

@beastmasterx7091 Nothing you said changes the fact that a sales tax is a regressive tax, that would hurt the poorest people most. It would be a terrible way to try and totally fund the government. I think giant corporations and the super rich have proven, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that they'll do anything and everything to avoid paying their fair share in taxes. I'd totally ditch sales taxes, VATs, or anything of the sort, plus ditch corporate taxes and switch to making corporations pay progressive shares to the public to operate in that country and make money off that public. Something like ... small businesses that do $1m and under business get a pass, $1-10m business the public gets a 10% share in the company, $10-100m the public gets a 20% share, $100m-$1b the public gets a 30% share, $1-10b the public gets a 40% share, $10-100b the public gets a 50% share, $100+b the public gets a 60% share. Or, maybe scale it based on a business's percent of GDP so it works in any size economy. Kind of like how Norway has a majority share of its major oil company ... only do that with all businesses, scaling down the share based in the size of the business.
