Did you figure this thread is about hypocrisy in the Dems supporting and driving through a highly regressive tax scheme that's MORE PERVASIVE than an income tax, yet? Despite their "rhetoric" and <cough> "conviction" to the contrary?
No?
Apparently 80+ replies still isn't enough for you to get a clue...

Your thread title labelled it a flat or non-progressive tax. Now, you are calling it a highly regressive tax. That's even less accurate.
With rising gas prices this will save people money. You do realize that, whether you charge a % tax on gas or a set amount per gallon on gas, they are both flat taxes. Under either scheme, the rich and the poor will pay exactly the same amount of tax, for, say 10 gallons, whether the tax is 10% or $.10 a gallon.

What's so funny is I've had at least 2 MBAs tell me during program reviews that it is not their job to explain financial numbers.
Thanks to this thread and AA, the only conclusion you can make is that MBAs are worthless. Unless of course, all you're doing is checking some box for a promotion.

It's a flat consumption tax.
It is a non-progressive tax.
It is therefore a regressive tax.
It is a tax more pervasive than even an income tax.
It is therefore a highly regressive tax.
Keep up! You're smarter than that, Groucho. I expect it from the rest of the peanut gallery.
