As long as there are democrats, the fair tax is a VAT.

The Fair Tax is nothing like a VAT. A VAT taxes each stage of production of every item. The Fair Tax will only impose one tax at the point of sale.

I don’t care how many tomes, over how many articles, over how many years, you have made these comments to me.

It’s typical liberal nature that if there is a federal consumption tax ever imposed at the cash-register, the liberals will not be able to resist the urge and desire to turn that point of sale collection of federal monies into a VAT.

Argue the fine points of the Fair Tax proposal all you want. As long as there are democrats in Congress living and breathing, they will eventually turn any point of sale consumption tax at the federal level into a VAT.

There is nothing you, or the Fair Tax books or articles or professors, or spreadsheets or anything else can do or say to change my mind. Liberals never met a tax they do not want to expand and enlarge. The Fair Tax is a nice fat tool to leverage a VAT into our wallets.
