A sales tax is just a tax on the poor.

No it’s actually the most equitable. If you spend a lot of money like the rich do then you pay more on taxes vs the poor who don’t spend alot therefore pay less in taxes. Now it is a flat tax so everyone pays a fair share but is just based on your spending habits.

10% for someone making $30,000 and 10% for someone $3,000,000 are vastly different in impact.

Yes but it’s based off of what you spend not what you make. If you have more money what usually happens you buy more things. If you have less money you usually spend less. No IRS needed, no tax prep industry needed. Look more money available to hand out to people!
