With a sales tax, you can be a little discriminating about how much tax you give them, and how much you save. It would be a very good incentive to save. You currently have very little insentive to save, and when you do, the returns (and the already taxed income) are then taxed. You might as well spend it and enjoy it now. -Quentin
