A VAT, even if used to replace the federal income tax, will still tax people multiple times by imposing a tax at each stage of production. That scenario is highly doubtful.

The far better national sales tax is The Fair Tax Act(HR25/S296) The Fair Tax is a solution that has been before each session of Congress since 1999 and already has 66 cosponsors. It is specifically written to replace all federal income taxes with a national sales by imposing the tax only once, at the point of sale and abolish the IRS! It's time to demand Congress pass what has been before them for years!

Obamacare is unconstitutional. The people are not bound by an unconstitutional act. The people are the government, not Congress, The White House or SCOTUS. The people have the final say as to how they are governed.

The maoist uses these poll numbers to choose which nightmare he’s going to inflict on us next.

If it appears we want something you can count on it being ignored in favor the most horrific actions he can inflict on America.

If the VAT is used to pay specifically for healthcare, the numbers improve swith 51% of voters nationwide still opposing a national sales tax...

Voters swayed by that nonsense need to learn what happens to the money specifically collected to fund social security and the highway fund.

We are dealing with incurable, shameless liars and deceivers on all these issues.

What happened to that promise that only the “rich” will have to pay taxes to support health care?

Anyone who believed that — I have some prime swamp land to sell you.

That's most likely how a VAT will be implemented. It will have exemptions and deductions for the "poor", who ware the vast majority of 0bama supporters.

Don’t matter what the voters want.
Obammy knows what is best.
And remember what Hillary said,”we are going to take your money to use for things we see as necessary”.
Just shut up and pay the money, fools.
And you racists better go out and support obammy in the future too.

voter's don't want the VAT -

which is a pretty good litmus test to what we're going to get shoved down our throat

Obyummer is King. He and his court now rule - by-passing Congress, sneering at the PEOPLE.

None dare call it a coup.

Hopefully, this regimes push to Totalitarianism will be the ultimate push for the FAIR TAX and the end of the IRS - which they are increasing - their Gestapo arm backed up with their “National Police Force” -

Hopefully, there will soon be that one straw too many, and hopefully, we will be able to stop this gang of thugs.

the FAIR TAX and the end of the IRS would give us the original freedoms laid down by our Founding Fathers - something we have never fully had in our life times.

The FAIR TAX and the end of the IRS would neuter Socialism/Marxism/Muslims for so long, the present day practitioners would be long gone, the new generations would not be steeped in it and it would take another 200 years before it get it's foot in the door. (Time for another gen-ration to fight for the Freedoms.)

So far, I haven’t gotten a reasonable (or any) response from any liberal about why 0bama said we wouldn’t see ANY of our taxes increase if we make less than $250k,
and how that conflicts with the present reality.

The only explanations I’ve heard are: (1) the tax will be temporary (yeah, right); and (2) it will replace certain taxes such as federal income tax (yeah, right again).

Obama counts on his true believers to believe his lies over and over again. They must all like the taste of snake oil because they continue to swallow it again and again.

To criticize him would be to attack their own sense of self worth - they have a lot of self worth and moral superiority wrapped up in supporting the “first black president”.
