I would say that being charged more than legally allowed is too much. Each state has it's own sales tax rate, so what is fine for one state might be higher or lower in the state right next to it. And New Hampshire doesn't have any sales tax at all, so even a sales tax of .00000000001 would be too much to a New Hampshirite.

I say charge as much as needed to get rid of income tax. The poor argument is a bad one. They say that people that make a lot do not spend everything. If I make $100,000,000 then sooner or later I will spend it (or my realatives will). So I will pay tax on it. Have everyone pay a fair tax and then use the leftovers to help the ones that need it the most.

Any, IMHO. Sales taxes are regressive taxes and adversely affect the poor. They should be abolished completely.

Any % is too much. The poor and needy are the ones who suffer, as usual, and the fat cats laugh all the way to the country club.
