Switching out progressive taxes for regressive taxes, nothing to see here.
People earning under $50,000 actually get double fucked, since they were exempt from the income tax of 4.25% before, and now they will have to pay the new "lower" 3% income tax AND the new sales tax.
Fuck you poor people.
When this happens, it means the laws that enable these people are no longer acceptable to the people. That's a dangerous place to be.
