Any tax reform that lowers the top rate and scraps deductions should be rejected

That is why President Obama has called on Congress to enact comprehensive tax reform that meets the following five principles:

1. Lower tax rates.
The tax system should be simplified and work for all Americans with lower individual and corporate tax rates and fewer brackets.

How about a 9.75% sales tax rate nationally and no income tax?

Yeah, screw poor people.

Is that what Cook County did when the liberals hiked the sales tax to 10.25%?

No.  There is currently no federal sales tax.  If there was a 9.75% federal sales tax then the people in cook county would be paying 20%.  It's math.

The reference in question was 'Yeah, screw poor people. ".

Leftist government hogs love sales tax just as much as anyone. They merely pile it on other taxes on top.
