Saw Haley Barbour on Fox over my noon hour. He said that in the 1990s when he was RNC Chair, they had talks about changes in tax policy and discussed imposition of a VAT tax. His remark was he concluded a VAT would only work if there was a concurrent Constitutional amendment abolishing the income tax. Otherwise, we'd just end up with another layer of taxation.
