Seems like a political loser too. The Republicans' base is old people. Imagine working your whole life paying tax on that income and then when you retire and generally have a lower income and tax burden, all of they sudden they introduce a 30% consumption tax on everything you buy.
Actually fairly easy to evade for the rich, you just create a company that then buys pretty much everything you need, a house, the Lambo etc that then leases it to you at minimal cost and then uses the loss on the lease as a tax write off thus shifting your consumption into a corporation loss, basically your rule of thumb should be if the GOP propose it then it will be easy for the rich to avoid
