burden from income tax to sales tax. Sales tax is a regressive tax
that unfairly takes a higher percent of low-income individuals. I
am also concerned that reliance on taxing goods and services is
counterproductive in encouraging consumption.

Having said that, the Retail sector has been subject to sales tax
for years. By spreading this burden across the board and allowing
more industries to help share, this is allowing a reduction in the
sales tax I am already subjected to as a retailer.

KASICH and company are putting the finishing touches on destroying middle and lower income people.
