A tax on wealth? Now that would be a better idea than penalizing consumer spending with a national sales tax. Taxing money not spent encourages spending and raises GDP growth. I would favor an annual 2% tax on all personal wealth over $2 million or so. That would get the economy going. Spend it or lose it is an easy choice.
A national sales tax IS a tax on wealth.
A tax on personal wealth by the way would kill the economy. Spend it or lose it? A wealth tax means I spend it and lose it. Screw it.. I'll move to another country.
