House Republicans have proposed a new 23% national sales tax on American families, increasing the prices of everything from groceries and gas to food and medicine.
American families need more breathing room. Not less.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While the bill does institute a 23% national sales tax, it also eliminates the income tax, payroll tax, and estate tax. It also includes a number of refunds and credits in chapter 2, and further refunds and rebates for families in chapter 3.

Its amazing - In the US we have HEMS programs that proclaim they are a critical care " ICU/ER in the Air" - and in the same breath, proudly point out that all of their providers are ACLS/PALS/PTLS certified (merit badges).
Sort of like "All of our helicopters are VFR certified"
