National Sales Tax: The Wing Takes Dream
He said it!

He finally said it!

Speaking to supporters in Florida, President Bush has just publicly said that replacing the income tax system with a national sales tax would be "worth considering."

Fellow Billionaires, we stand on the brink of a great new era. An era where we will be officially guaranteed to pay no more taxes than those less fortunate than us. Far less, even. With no income tax, our personal and corporate profits will flood in unchecked. After the income tax falls, it's only a matter of time before the capital gains tax and the estate tax fall with it. Then we'll pay taxes only on groceries, clothes, and the occasional solid-gold high-definition home IMAX theater like the common people. And if we need to get a really big-ticket item, like a third yacht, we can always skirt the sales tax by buying it in the Cayman Islands!

Let our silent prayers whisper in W.'s ear: Keep dreaming big, George. The wealthiest 1 percent are depending on you.
