Whatever happened to YN's VAT? Was that thoroughly discredited or is it still on the table?

Discredited? LOL! It's only being used in over 100 countries!

Besides, I have stated numerous time that I would prefer the Flat Tax. It's a workable consumption tax that wouldn't have the transition issues of a NRST or VAT.

So is prohibiting citizen gun ownership but the last time I looked that was pretty well descredited.

Wow!! The Nightmare VAT is in use in over 100 countries ... I didn't know that. Last time I looked you hadn't specified all the particulars.

Guess you write awfully fast, eh?

Next thing you know you'll be telling us that the Nightmare Flat has a bill in congress I'll bet. And, oh yeah, Nightie - a flat tax is still an income-based tax that has almost all of the flaws of the present one.

Should we list some of those for you or would you rather not know?

Trying to pretend it is a consumption tax in the same way as the FairTax is merely your attempt to get some of the FairTax benefits incorporated by implication ... won't work, Nightie!
