But an income tax is seen as a creeping evil, perpetually siphoning money away from the pockets of the citizens who worked and toiled for that hard-earned dollar. Instead, a sales tax fits more with the public's idea of a "fair" tax because it's like a "user fee," you only pay it if you use it. Don't want to pay sales tax? Easy, have Internet access and dodge it by ordering online, or just don't buy something. Don't want to pay income tax? Die.
