    If he thought Obamacare was hard to pass, wait till he tries to pass a National Sales Tax. Does anyone think that tax would go to pay off debt? It would go to more social programs.

    Well along with all the other taxes he is putting on us Whats one more, We are going broke as it is. I hear he is going to tax everything 2, 3 4 or more times.

    Say we buy something from China, the US. will be taxed. The US sells it to a warehouse, the Warehouse will be taxed. The warehouse sells it to a distributor, The distributor will be taxed.

    the distributor sells it to a store , the store will be taxed. The store sells it to the consumer, the consumer is taxed again. All of these taxes will be added on to the cost of the product and the consumer will pay all of those taxes. Not to mention when the consumer earns his wages , he is taxed. and it goes on and on and on.

    I think the economy will really grind to a halt, since any time a product is even moved (say from a farm to a silo facility or a silo facility to a milling facility, etc), the value goes up and it will be taxed. Think of what that will do to prices. I am going to stock up on heirloom seeds and figure out ways to cut back on things I don't need.

    So much for the promise to not further tax people making less than $250,000. Just one more broken promise.

    there will be a great uproar in Congress and then, if the Democrats are still in lock step, it will pass and the jobs will be even more difficult to find.
