oh bummer! A value added tax is priced in the price and not added to the sales price like a sales tax. You never even know you are paying it and you never know how much it is. Most stupid americans wouldn't even know how to calculate what they just paid in the value added tax based on the price of what ever it is they just purchased.

Don't worry! Be happy!

Democrats at the Edge of the Cliff
online.wsj.com

Democrats are spending trillions at the worst possible moment, with a new poll showing public trust in government at a historic low of 22%.

A Quinnipiac poll released yesterday has the Obama presidential approval rating down to 44%—after health care, after the arms treaty with Russia, after the 47-nation, anti-proliferation convocation in Washington.

He insists on more government. People want less, and don't trust what they've got. They want reform.

Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land". Then about 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the promised land". Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and bankrupted the promised land.

Oh bummer! How regressive will it be if it is going to pay for everyones healthcare, reduce the deficit and make social security solvent?

Don't worry! Be happy!
