Or, of course, to shift the tax burden from investment to consumption...
Except, the poor have no choice but to consume (we all have to consume SOMETHING), and nothing to invest (because they've spent all their little money).
If you have to increase the sales tax, at least exempt necessities such as food and shelter. But the initial story posted here indicated they were going to END such an exemption.
