A flat tax hurts the poorest people
Consumption tax is equally retarded. You’re “punished”/fined for participating in the marketplace
Do it all via tariffs. People can choose to buy American or pay extra for foreign. Either choice ends up supporting America so there’s no wrong answer
Correct, this is the same VAT "Fair" Tax that gets pushed every two years at this time. Now the people see that there's a better alternative, the No Tax. That means No Direct Tax. Tariffs are not direct taxes but have always been acceptable as Constitutional indirect taxes.

The state sales taxes are bad enough, but then we're supposed to consider a national sales tax on top of them a Good Thing?
Screw that!
This might need some adjustment. jmo
We wouldn't need to generate so much revenue if they'd stop spending like whores with a stolen credit card.
Why does the word "Kamala" pop into my mind after reading that?
What was that meme... The people in trillions in debt are the ones giving you a credit score? Haha
Generally not in favor of a sales tax either. Wasn't a rate of 23 - 30% previously proposed. Hell no. There is no full text to this bill so you can't see if it's new retail goods and/or used goods (private party sales and garage sales too?). Would we need to all get sales tax licenses? Coupled w/ the state sales tax you could be 33 - 50%. Are food, housing, and other necessities exempt? How about a 20-30% add on to rent? Or when buying a car? That'd be fun, huh? And don't think for one minute the banks are going to loan to anyone w/out some type of a tax return.

Here's a link to the relevant info. When full text is available, it will be posted here.
It seems that the same sponsors introduced the same (or very similar) legislation in January 2023, where it languished in the House committee for Ways & Means.
Damn!!
I'm torn ...
One the one hand, I despise the income tax, and long for its demise.
On the other, I've been padding my Roth 457 religiously, and am ill at the thought of all the growth I'd missed out on vs a regular 457 ...
Abolis the IRS? HELL YES
Replace it with a national sales tax? HELL NO
It will be just like the income tax, starting out tiny and becoming a behemoth given enough time.
The income tax is great because it applies to federal people resident in federal places and not state citizens living in states of the union.
How does anyone become a US citizen? Even the certificate of naturalization admits the candidate as a citizen of the United States of America.
