    what if the sales tax applied not only to physical goods but also to virtual and financial products?

I dunno, what if a middle class person buys retirement mutual funds, and they depreciate? You had to pay tax, in addition to losing your retirement.

We already tax income from financial products, 'capital gains tax'. That seems reasonable to me (though I think It's far too low).
