    Now, being the mensa-brain having guy that you are, do you see the unfairness of a "goods and services" tax? Or do you not care whether it's fair?

    If it is than you don't understand it, consider this: A person making $40K pays a huge percentage of his income on goods and services--say 75%, while a person with perhaps a $300K income might spend $60K on goods and services. So, now the rich guy is taxed on only 20% of his income and the nearly-poor guy is taxed on 75%.

    The richer people aren't going to choose to eat more meals (only slightly better ones), have many more shoes (maybe a pair or two), etc.

    It's not about how one chooses to spend.
