Under the GOP's proposed 30% sales tax, you'd pay higher prices on everything, including nearly $5 for a gallon of regular milk.
Inflation is already causing enough pain. Folks shouldn't pay more at the grocery store to help Republicans fund a tax cut for the wealthiest 1%.
Also, #Americans near the #Canadian #border would go shopping in #Canada due to their lower prices, reversing the current trend. I know lots of #Canadians who presently cross into the #USA every couple of weeks to do their grocery shopping, since prices there, despite the unfavorable exchange rate, are lower. A 30% tax on goods sold in #America would reverse that flow, #Vermonters would be shopping in #Montreal.
But #Republicans don't care.

@Joaquincastrotx And the inflation is being driven, at least in part, by large corporation price hiking resulting in windfall profits.
Tax those profits.
@Joaquincastrotx if you make under about 170k, you'll pay more.
Bear with my rough numbers.
The average American makes $54,000. And spends most of it. They're in the 24% tax bracket, with about 60% of their income in the 12% bracket, with around 20% essential tax free.
Basically, unless you're saving 10k plus a year, or making more than 170k or so, it's a 30% income tax. And for most people, that's literally death sentence.
And this assumes you ignore existing sales taxes!
