Perhaps you should try Remedial Reading 101. Most interested in the subject will have no difficulty seeing from the links in #97 what the actual VAT experiences in several other countries have been.
You're not suggesting anything except the idealized concept of a VAT. How is it you expect it to be any different in practice that the existing VATS (or are all those countries doing it wrong?).
You - I'm sure - can explain how your Nightmare VAT will keep all those nasty things from happening here (like both a VAT and Income tax).
One of the primary principles behind the FairTax is to not have exemptions/exceptions whenever possible - and the bill is quite good in that regard. To start that nonsense after passage would be a HUGE uphill battle since the law would be the FairTax which says as a guiding principle:
"To tax all consumption of goods and services in the United States once, without exception, but only once."
Perhaps you should try Remedial Reading 101. Most interested in the subject will have no difficulty seeing from the links in #97 what the actual VAT experiences in several other countries have been.Your links were just to pages that describe the code or the actual code of other countries. That doesn't describe "negative experiences." Again, if it's so clear you should have no difficulty pointing them out from the pages you linked to. Is this one of your tactics? Point to pages that don't describe what you say they will so it looks like you have verification of your claims? Caution: Watch for falling credibility!

It's airtight!!!
