If there is one thing that the philosophy of libertarianism reveals is the willful disregarding of knock-on effects & consequences.
With sales taxes, every citizen becomes obliged to be both a tax collector and a tax evader.
It spreads the pernicious habits of the wealthy regarding taxation to everyone.
The wealthiest don't want to pay *any* taxes.
As they did with the income tax framework, the wealthy will design the law so they don't pay sales taxes either.
How do you mean that with sales tax every citizen becomes a tax collector?
I really don't see how sales taxes are any different from income taxes in terms of people wanting to pay them or not.
Well, it does remind me of people wanting cash payment for work to avoid income taxes, though.
There's no difference there.
