The VAT is a stoooopid idea. We already have a similar concept with corporate income taxes. Corporations should NOT have to pay income taxes. The consumers of goods and services should UNDERSTAND what their costs of goods and services are. Again, Economics, Accounting, Finance 101 are in order to anyone who does not understand simple logic.

I agree - the VAT is a terrible idea. However, one need look no further than the socialist systems of Europe to see how the liberals over there LOVE the VAT.

Impose the Fair Tax here and the liberals will turn it into a European style VAT.

Corporations do not pay taxes. They pass the cost of the tax onto the consumer. These are essentially hidden taxes.
