Yes, there's no way to pre-empt state-level taxation without a constitutional amendment. What's amazing about the National Sales Tax proposal is that it would raise less revenue than we currently are but hit the average American much harder.
Another amazing feature is it will hit the poor much harder than the rich. Sales taxes are regressive and thatтАЩs the appeal to the Reverse Robin Hood Republicans. They know their base is too ignorant to catch on.
It's 8+% here deep in the heart of Tex's Ass, depending on what your county's sales tax is. And that's on top of having one of the highest property tax rates in the nation. But if your property is agricultural, your taxes, relative to the rates us city slickers pay, is barely parking meter change.
Oh, don't need to tell me-- I live in NY, we have state income tax, state and local sales tax (9%), county tax, property tax, school tax... if it is not taxed, it has an added fee. The only thing not taxed is food (unprepared food) but other things have added sales tax (like liquor, car rentals, airline tickets, hotel rooms, tobacco... soon they will figure out how to tax marijuana.). We even have some cities with income tax (Yonkers, NYC etc.) and that also charge commuter taxes. We are well-versed in the ability for the state to extract -- and they are amazingly efficient at it.
I would imagine this is all on top of the existing taxes that the individual states have on sales. NY is already at 4% sales tax on cars.

What's funny is the base will catch on after the fact.
Ford F-150 base MSRP: $34,000
With a 23% tax increase: $41,820
That $9,000 will get added to plenty of loans, which will also be taxed at 23%, unless you met a car dealership crazy enough to eat the coast.
It's not a 23% tax, it's a 30% tax. More Republican distortions (not directed at you EnderAK08).
Item costs $100, plus 30% tax = $130.
Conversely, 30/100 = 30%
BUT 30/130 = 23%. Basic dishonesty.
Thank you. I have been trying to determine which number they really mean, or if they changed it. Dirty dealings are totally on brand.
Sales tax on food and medical care is one of the cruelest regressive taxes that exist.
Wow, a two-fer! No wonder why they love it.
