There is all sorts of untaxed economic activity in the United States. I already listed some of these. The income tax is just as easy to avoid as the VAT. The VAT is a better way for the honest individual citizen, if the governments try to collect taxes, because it is easier to avoid if you can fix things, make things, repair your own things or buy them second-hand. It encourages thrift and ingenuity.

The income tax encourages illegal evasion.
