Original Note:
The question isn’t “how would a sales tax replace an income tax”, but rather “what is the difference between taxing income versus consumption.” Sales taxes hit lower income people harder because a larger share of their income is used to consume. https://policybook.aarp.org/policy-book/taxation/income-tax-vs-consumption-tax
