“a National Sales Tax is not a VAT.”

Yes. A VAT tax would have to REPLACE all other local and state sales tax.
In the US, that would not happen until Obozo has completed

Well, unfortunately, VATs in place in Euro-land exist with an income tax.

That's what 0bozo wants.

What I want is an elimination of the entire income tax code.
