That would actually be way too much in taxes. As it is now, people recoup some of the taxes paid every year in tax returns. The IRS mails you a check for the amount you overpaid (and is a huge chunk of the Treasury's mandatory funding... it's some 200 billion a year if I read it right.) This is probably the easiest way to see if you will be paying more in taxes. Take your tax bracket percentage, figure out how much you get back, subtract that from taxes paid and you determine how much in general tax you paid. Compare that to an estimate of how much in taxes you would pay throughout the year in a sales tax of 23% and you have your answer.
It seems the mods need help with this forum. I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.
