McCain and Obama are debating one last time tonight. Meanwhile, the stock market is down 700+ points today. I’m voting for Obama but I also think that no matter who is elected, they’re going to have a tough time of it without raising taxes in some way. So here’s my idea: institute a federal sales tax, say, of 1-2% on everything – everything, including Internet goodies. No fuss, no muss, no weasling out of it because you have a really good accountant. I know, I know, it’s not very complicated and there are no earmarks or entitlements or other doublethink nonsense. But just think about it – it’s an easy way for everybody to pay their fair share AND actually generate revenue rather than just spend it.
