I'm delighted about the VAT. My liberal co-workers scoff when I tell them that Obama's health care will result in higher and more taxes for all of us, for they truly believe, "Oh no, the RICH will pay. Obama will make the RICH pay."

When that VAT hits the liquor aisle, Obama voters will be the first ones freaking out. Just wait. Nothing like the ability to say "I told you so" within six months of the initial warning.

Oh please do and if you ever need some ideas of what things cost in VAT countries...look at my posts in VAT threads or message me and I can give you some prices of routine everyday things that should scare the pants off of them.
