That could be because it's never been done.

And probably for good reason - but you're wrong, Every VAT started as a simple "sales tax" - everywhere.

Why is the flat tax different in these respects than the income tax we have? If the flat income tax neither rewards or punishes then does the income tax we have? Does the nrst? You're a little loopy here.

Nice bit of pretzel logic here, wtf are you talking about?

And why do you oppose an imaginary foe? What you imagine is, well, your imagination. Silly, really, reading posts like this.

Imaginary? is your 1040 imaginary?

The rest is even worthy of a reply.

Uh, no. Wrong. Just wrong. Like most of what you say - ignorant.

You were ignorant of the billl's provision for inventory credit.

You are ignorant of the VAT's conception.

You really don't know much at all.
