All the consumer would see is that prices on everything are skyrocketing, without any visibility on what is really driving the prices up. And then politicians could grandstand against greedy big bread, big clothing, big electronics, etc., and much of the electorate will fall for it.An Ex Dem is defending the income tax. Figures.

So, instead of refuting my reasoning and showing me where my thinking is flawed, you just insult me?
I know for a fact that I don’t want to be paying $5 hidden tax on a $2 loaf of bread while some politician is grandstanding about greedy wheat farmers.

Now be nice, it takes time to recover. As I posted above, I would only support a VAT if it was contingent on repeal of the 16th Amendment (since otherwise we’ll have both), and there is NO WAY that the Dems will allow that to happen, due to their view of taxes being a form of ‘Social Justice’.
