A national sales tax would remove income tax bias against one’s savings, as consumers are taxed only when they decide to purchase goods.

The idea appears to be getting more popular by the day .

Between 2015 and 2024 , the federal government will lose out on crucial federal funding.

In fiscal year 2024 , the federal government has spent over $35 billion in foreign aid, and offered almost 6 million government contracts.

It appears that, in times of need, Americans are left to struggle with barely any government assistance.

Americans would stand to benefit from a national sales tax system, one which is simplified, transparent and accounts for every dollar taken from hard-working Americans .
