And I feel the same way about a VAT in terms of how it will hit the "poor" the hardest, even though I personally hate the idea of paying yet another tax. But fear not, I am sure that any VAT that 0bama imposes on us will simply apply only to "evil rich people."
Every American should have to pay some income tax so they know how it feels to have your hard earned money seized and given to some one else....the only fair tax is one that no one escapes.
