When did Thompson come out in favor of the “fair tax” aka national retail sales tax?
Bruce Bartlett on the Value-Added Tax
After reading this article, the only possible conclusion is that Bartlett has suffered some sort of brain injury or he is seriously impaired by mind-altering chemicals. He makes the literally insane assertion that even if a VAT is added as a new tax, without replacing any existing tax, the total amount of taxes collected does not go up. You can't make that kind of thing up.
Fairtaxers need to quite repeating this lie.
An honest person would fix their mistake. Oh well.
