Political Factoid
Some Republicans, e.g., Rand Paul when
he was a senatorial candidate,
have
advocated a 23% National sales tax.*
They call it a "fair tax."
23% federal sales tax
+ 10% state (and city ) sales tax
= 33% more at the register.
... and a larger percentage of household budgets for
low and middle income families, than of
the budgets of the more wealthy.

Similar to the "Value Added Tax" (VAT) widely
used in Europe.
