>The Obama administration might be under the impression that raising income taxes, even on the rich, isn't as easy as it seems. Not only that, but the Republicans would NEVER allow it. Because the Republicans (the guys you support) are in the pockets of the wealthy and powerful. But it's been done before. >A VAT is more of a "bipartisan" solution. Conservatives don't mind that as much as income taxes (though Obama wants both). Right, because it's more regressive. >Plus spreading the wealth means spreading the pain around. Why only punish those making a lot of money? It's not punishment. >We should also punish those spending a lot of money. Why? Our entire economy's been built on spending as much as possible. >Momentum for the VAT will be picking up very soon. I hope you're wrong. But I'm worried you're right. -Z
