Anyone who has spent more than one day in Europe knows what a VAT does. Consider this VATS in Norway, Denmark, Sweden – 25%. Top tax rates in those countries are about 60% on anything over, about, 70k a year. Add ‘em together – and you’ll understand why a 10 pack of Coke costs $10 or a McD’s Value Meal is $15.

Anyone who knows what a VAT is knows 9-9-9 is no such thing.

Claiming 9-9-9 is a VAT indicates either the poster has no clue what he is talking about or he does know and he is merely lying about it in the vain notion it helps his candidate of choice.

“Anyone who has spent more than one day in Europe knows what a VAT does”

Okay, and anyone who spent more than one day in Europe in 1941 knows what war does. What’s the relevance of either to this thread?
