Yes, like a sales tax. That is an extremely regressive tax and should be removed.

- 24gttghh 9y agoI think whether or not it is regressive depends on the context. A flat tax (perhaps an even steeper on than generally exists currently) on goods purchased might help to curb consumption/consumerism that is destroying our environment. That's one context. How should a government tasked with regulating commerce seek to fund such endeavors otherwise? I'm not baiting; I really don't know.
