Depending on their income, the state could relieve the applicant of a portion, or all, of the tax, and issue an ID number/card that could be used to mark all their transactions in which the tax imposed upon the transaction is reduced (this is for the seller’s accounting, to prove to the government why he doesn’t owe the full tax on any particular transaction). This is why retailers shift the burden for the tax – but not the liability – to the purchaser as a condition of the sale.) Some might complain that the poor would suffer under a national sales tax, but there’s a way to mitigate that problem – allow low-income people to file a statement of their income and request relief from the tax. If, for instance, retailers didn’t charge the tax at the point of sale, they would still be liable for paying the tax to the state, and it would come out of their gross. (Sales taxes are indirect taxes upon the revenue taxable activity of operating a privileged/licensed business. Again, artificial entities (licensed businesses and corporations) would be liable for a sales tax, removing government scrutiny from the finances/income of private citizens. I imagine that aside from corporate taxes, the only viable option is a national sales tax. Government has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted with such information. The last point is why I am opposed to any form of taxation that would require private individuals to make reports or returns of any sort. (The reporting of personal income is not only onerous, it is invasive to a degree inconsistent with principles of limited government and personal liberty.) And third, because no private person/state citizen should be required to make reports of their personal income/financial situation to the federal government. Second, because by placing the liability on an artificial entity/person, the burden is properly placed upon something (an artificial entity) that owes its existence to the state, and not upon natural persons who have a right to exist, to earn money, to acquire property, etc. Why are their corporate taxes? First, because someone has to pay taxes.
