Republicans are crying foul over Democrat ads running in seve House districts. The ads call attention to the Republicans in those district supporting a national sales tax. The seven are on record as backers of HR 25. It would replace the income tax with a national sales tax of 30% over the purchase price. Backers say it's a 23% tax -- since that's the amount of the total price after the tax is added on.
The ad says it'd amount to a tax break for the rich while increasing taxes on "every clothes purchase, our food, our cars and trucks, even our homes." Republicans are demanding TV stations pull the ads. (WashPost)
