Consumption taxes are a perfectly fine way to tax. You buy frugally and make your dollars count (encourages wise buying habits and discourages throwing away). Purchases are directly penalized. If you don't want to be penalized with a sales tax, make it yourself. VATs or national sales taxes are simply institutions of layered sales taxes (with VATs having deductions or credits).

Income taxes are an easy tax to collect. They directly discourage work and any savings one would achieve. If you don't want to be penalized with an income tax, be lazy and don't work.

Here, talk to this guy.

Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread:

Having served in the military during the whole Saddam Hussein days, Hussein very well did have Weapons of Mass Destruction!...At that time (1980s). And no, the USA did not sell a single weapons system to the Iraqis. The Iraqis MAIN weapons and even WOMD salesmen where the Soviets, Germans and French.

Anyway, I'd remind Donald: Who gassed the Kurds? The evidence was overwhelming! Now after the Israelis bombed Osirak* Hussein may very well have NOT had a nuclear program, but he had chemicals and germs at his disposal, and chose to use the chemicals against both the Kurds an Iranians, there is no dispute in history about that.

*The Israeli Air Force mission against Hussein's nuclear facility (sold to them by France, by the way) was named "Operation Babylon".

-Alas Babylon!

I'm sure he can give you more facts than you want to know.

Truth to delusionals like you is like Holy water to a vampire.

Your personal attacks while ignoring the facts prove my posts.

It was so cold the German Shepard went out, did her business and ran back in the house this morning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her do that. She tends to frolic in the morning. Not today.

Cruz tries to weasel it by saying it isn’t a VAT because it is applied at the business level in a different way, but the end result is the same. I wish folks would press him more on it because logic tells you the government could not float with a flat tax of 10%. And, of course, the democrats will kill him on lowering the top tax rate to 10%. Cruz’s tax plan, along with a host of other things, will kill him in the general and folks naively believe the stupid polls that he could beat Hillary.

Mkay. We are supposed to attack Iraq because of gas? Weapons of Mass Destruction used to be nukes... boy that has changed. So, why didn’t we turn and invade Syria? They have nerve gas? Once more, this is riding the ‘get Trump’ wagon. I think you should ask most folks whether we should invade a country because they have nerve gas. Was it really worth the treasure and the lives for nerve gas? I guess you think so.

No.

So, why didn't we turn and invade Syria? They have nerve gas?

Where do you think it came from? And why didn't the RATagandists have a big "AHA!" moment over it? (For that matter, why didn't the Republicans?)

Once more, this is riding the 'get Trump' wagon.

Yeah I don't think so. You should get out more. The Cubanadian and the anchor baby are not eligible.

I think you should ask most folks whether we should invade a country because they have nerve gas.

I asked all of them, they had no opinion.

Was it really worth the treasure and the lives for nerve gas?

No, we should have nuked the soddies and Yemen....no troops.

I guess you think so.

There you go again, Guessing wrongly about what I think.

Trump is the only one saying what needs to be said. Except that Bush DID NOT LIE, read the post again.

The boo’ing pushed trump over the edge. He’s so addicted to being adored that when he’s not, he loses it. That is NOT leadership bonafides. I don’t care what anyone says.

Trump looked weak and angry.

I want to know why Jim Robinson can’t delete these posts fast enough that talk about Trump wanting his sister as a justice?? We live in crazy times when the head of “conservative” FR doesn’t want this out there.

People have to distinguish between the Constitutionally allowed income tax because of the 16th Amendment, a national sales tax, and the VAT.

First of all, until you repeal the 16th Amendment, nobody should be talking about ADDING an entirely new federal tax, a national sales tax. People who think all you have to do is have legislation that disallows income tax in favor of the sales tax. But of course that is a silly idea since the 16th Amendment of Constitution authorizes the feds at any time to implement an income tax. People need to remember that the Constitution trumps legislation (Art VI, Cl 2 - the Supremacy Clause). Unless you love taxes, adding a national sales tax before repealing the 16th Amendment would be foolhardy.

Secondly, if you by some miracle actually repeal the 16th Amendment, I agree that a sales tax - a tax upon purchase at the cash register - would be preferable for a variety of reasons, some of which you mention.

Thirdly, the VAT MUST be distinguished from an actual sales tax at the cash register for purchases. NOT a “consumption tax” or value-added tax. That would be a disaster allowing the feds to tax each stage along the production and supply process and allowing more intrusion and interference the inner workings of business that would also allow more hidden taxes than ever. VAT is a disaster.

Nevertheless,there WERE no WMD’s when Bush made his wrong-headed decision to invade Iraq - Trump is right about that.

And Bush did change his tune by announcing a NEW reason fr invading Iraq - the useless and immediately defunct “Bush Doctrine.”
