VAT is a horrendous, evil idea. VAT is giving away the farm to the federalists. VAT is the complete Europe-ization of America!! I DO NOT support VAT. VAT is insane. What i would consider until the time that we can finally eliminate socialism from America, is the elimination of income tax and corporate tax and unearned income tax and replacing it with a national sales tax. THAT is not VAT!

<<The VAT is an interesting idea, though I am still noncommittal...... >> In a way we have a vat. Take a worker at Ford. He puts a fender on a frame and value is added to the vehicle. He gets paid for doing this and is taxed. Part of his pay goes to the tax which his salary is part of the cost of the vehicle. The buyer pays a price where the taxed part of his pay is included in the price. Father Terrance steals his vehicles so he doesn't have to pay that tax. Just kidding.
