Republicans now want to
eliminate

the national income tax and replace it with a national consumption tax.

A consumption tax is a tax on what people spend, rather than what people earn.

Love Republicans logic by they assume all voters are as dumb as republican voters.


Household earnings $87,431

Total household expenditures $66,928

Housing expenditures $22,624

Transportation expenditures $10,961

Food expenditures $8,289

Increase in household expenditures from 2020 9.1%

Percent of people’s income devoted to living expenses 76.5%

Top 1% of U.S. Earners Now Hold More Wealth Than All of the Middle Class

consumption taxes is that they tend to be regressive. Regressive taxes absorb a larger share of the earnings of people with lower incomes than of people with higher incomes. This is because people with lower incomes use a larger portion of their income for consumption than do those with higher incomes.

Do republicans actually think the use the same % of their income to live as middle class Americans

Ya ok
