Federal Sales Tax Collection Suggestion

"...why should the Federal Government know what I'm buying and who/where I'm buying it from?"
@JohnTant

John, I wasn't clear if you were arguing the privacy of sales tax here, but couldn't be worse than income tax.

Locally, businesses collect sales tax, send it to the state, which parses it back to the city. It's the state that grants sales tax licenses.

If businesses collect sales tax, pass that along to county and city, city sends the portion to county, county to state, states to Fed.... I see advantages... licensing could be local, accompanying, e.g. business licence. If the Fed has the sales license power, or payment are made to the Fed... I see problems...

I r no geenyess like our gummint, tho, so all I know is that I dont know nothin'.
