Sounds like he’s running for Myth’s VP slot.
At least we don’t have to waste our time considering him when the primaries come around.
I am unconditionally opposed to a VAT. I do not care what happens to the income tax. I will never support a VAT. It is the worst possible tax scheme. It is invisible, complex, and a huge money maker. Our version of the VAT will undoubtedly be much worse than other countries.
Worse than a RINO.
He’s not even a fiscal conservative.
As conservatives, we need to come out hard against this guy. he is a threat to the movement and could set it back decades if he gets a national position. From what I ahev read of him I condsider him a mcain/murkowski/castle clone!
There are many liberals who have enough common sense not to mention the idea of a VAT. I’m just stunned that Daniels could be this stupid.
If you really want to encourage savings and investment and discourage consumption, you should have no income tax and a retail sales tax on everything with no exceptions.
No VAT because it is a hidden tax on the consumer just like corporate taxes.
A perfect scheme for money hungry politicians.
Being invisible is the WORST part and would only bring us down faster via stealthy theft.
Yep, a socialist/Marxist dream tax!
he just lost any chance for higher office.
I agree, a VAT is a criminal tax.
That said, the thing Daniels and every other idiot in DC doesn’t get is that we can NEVER balance income and out go by increasing taxes. No matter what form the taxes take.
There simply isn’t enough money to satisfy the government’s thirst. The only solution is on the spending side of the equation. And that requires radical changes to the government AND an end to the entitlement mentality of the American people. So there is no hope. Too many of the people are greedy and stupid, a damning combination.
He’s not even a fiscal conservative.
Yes, but isn't he the lesser of two evils next to a Dimocrat? /s
Well, Mitch Daniel’s done. Not that with his boring persona he ever had a chance in the era of Clinton and Obama.
Too true that...America does socialism horribly. All you need to do is look at Obamacare to see that our government has taken the worst concepts of socialism and created a disaster.
I say let Europe be Europe...no need to make ourselves into a poor imitation of that continent.
This is disappointing, to say the least.
I thought Mitch would be a super candidate, but alas, he’s fuggin’ the dog pretty much on a regular basis now.
Ditch Mitch.
> Yes, but isn’t he the lesser of two evils next to a Dimocrat? /s
Given your /s tag, I take it that you agree with me that the DemonRATs need to own this catastrophe lock, stock and barrel.
If the new Republican Congress does not aggressively pursue these communists to the ends of the earth, and apply themselves vigorously to eviscerate or defund every cockamamie piece of 0bamunist legislation, they will inherit blame for the economic debacle in the 2012 election cycle.
Thune as vp would make up 4 his shortcomings in this ‘era.’
Jim DeMint for Majority Leader!
