Naaaah.. Can't be.
Just like all those big bad VAT taxes in Europe never started out as simple sales taxes...
Trust the Klu Tax Klan - they know what's good for you.

Sorry, scamal, the VAT taxes were not (and still aren't) at all like a true tax on end consumption such as the FairTax. They are quite different and almost all of them also have other big taxes hooked on.

You must mean "trust the IRS; they know what the tax laws are AND what's good for you".

Hey - you got that right! Congrats.

Can you even name a country whose sole source of domestic tax revenue is a VAT?

Can you even name any country whose VAT began as something other than a VAT?

Get a googling!
