Then cap and trade, then amnesty, etc. By the time they're done, the Tea Party will be everybody but the 10% hard left.

50% of the people absolutely no income tax. The dems have a natural lock on them unless they come over for social reasons.

"They're trying to make those of us who have a few bucks poor so everyone will be poor and everyone will be the same," added Charlotte Wein of Midtown.

DING DING! We have a winner!

NO NO NO NO I will NOT pay a national sales tax on top of income taxes. One or the other but not fraking both you fraking crooks.

[upchuck]

The friggin nobama regime (to use Rush’s terminology) don’t know what they are talking about. A National Sales Tax IS NOT the same as a VAT tax.

The Fair Tax, which is a pretty well thought out plan, is close to being a NST.

VAT, as explained in the article, is something completely different.

"One thing that may keep the Obama administration from imposing the tax this year is that every member of Congress is up for election come November."

If only. Actually, it's every member of the House, and 1/3 of the members of the Senate.

Go underground economy,black market and barter.Does second hand get the VAT tax?

"I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

“”50 cents in taxes added on by the yarn supplier “”

In case the sweater is wool, don’t forget the rancher who raised the sheep - tax the food they eat. Who produced the food - whoops! another tax. Or how about a silk shirt - tax the silk worm.......

Many, many more “hits” before a product reaches the store.

Every day, EVERY DAM DAY I TELL YA, it’s some new stupid idea coming out of Washington/White House. What, are they all high on No-Doz, staying up all night dreaming up this crap? Didn’t the Anointed One say he would not raise taxes?

[GeronL]

VAT is not a sales tax.

[xzins]

Jose Barro, an economist for the Manhattan Institute, told CBS 2 HD that the vat might work if the government agreed to reduce personal income and corporate taxes at the same time.

Any American who'd believe one of our "rape America" congress-critters on that one actually deserves slavery. It's what they'll get, but they'll be among those who actually deserve it.

[vigilo]

These degenerates won’t stop until they have it all. That’s their goal. They’ll take it all and put each one of us on an allowance. “From each according to their ability. To each according to their need [as determined by the elite politicians, of course.]”

[1066AD]

Governments love VAT. They set the rate and the private sector collects the money & delivers it to them.

They also like it because it’s so easy to change the rate upwards, must be really hard to reduce it as that never happens !

France’s VAT is 19 or 20%, UK is around 17 or 18%, but at least they don’t have local sales taxes as far as I know.

[DemforBush]

This just can’t be right. If I make less than $250,000/year, my taxes won’t go up a single cent. In fact, I’ll be one of the 90% of Americans who are going to get a tax cut.

They’ll still pass it.

[scannell]

The beauty of the Value Added Tax for the lefties is that you really don't add it on, you just build it in. This is a feeble attempt to add a 20-25% tax on Americans even those making less than $250K (unless of course you don't want to spend your money.)

Just imagine what a 25% reduction in family purchasing power will do to the economy, employment, world wide competition, GDP and Federal revenue. This is a lose, lose, lose, lose proposition.

Obama is out of the closet now. He is not trying to fortify the country, but to rape it to transfer spending to the benefit of his core consitutency. This is reparations straight up. Under one theory you could tax the workers to transfer the fruits of their production to the non workers ORRRRRR you could simply go ahead and spend the same trillions on that constitutency and then monetize the debt and walla.....you have just accomplished the same thing. Money spent on his friends at ACORN, SEIU and UAW while devaluing the wealth of the producers.

Why merely tax a high percent of one years income when you can steal a large portion of their entire net worth by devaluing the currency by which it is measured. This is a silent coup my friends.....He knows his time is short, he is just about creating many 3rd rail issues that will make it politically difficult to unwind.
