What is the down side to a federal sales tax?
Of course you would want to eliminate income tax.

Really?

I would think if you put more money in certain people's pockets they would definitely spend it.
People who invest and save for the future are always going to be more frugal.

Savings is the father of investment and production.

Investment and production are what drive the economy and future innovations.
The reason most people don't support a national sales tax in lieu of the web of taxes we have now is that it would require personal responsibility, something that is equally hated on both sides of the aisle.

So these 47% don't pay state sales tax, property tax, payroll tax, or gas tax? Interesting.

"Poor" people (as defined by US standards, which is filthy rich compared to most of the world) consume the most social services and pay in little, to none.
