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.
Well, Mitch Daniel’s done. Not that with his boring persona he ever had a chance in the era of Clinton and Obama.
Jim DeMint for Majority Leader!
Well, Mitch won’t be getting my vote.
Read my lips, Daniels D*ckhead
NO NEW TAXES.
Mitch Daniels is a jerk!! Last year he came out with the quip that we should move on from the principles of Roanld Reagan. Now he’s talking about a VAT tax. He should stay in Indiana and put the VAT tax where the sun don’t shine.
But the VAT .... yikes. Supposedly it works well in a utopia. But my idea of a utopia doesn't have taxes...
Mitch Daniels is another “great white hope” promoted by the “anybody but Sarah” crowd. David Brooks was hyping Mitch last week. Between his statements on “a truce on social issues” and the VAT, his 15 seconds are about up.
The wannabes keep self-destructing and the little lady keeps getting stronger.
Daniels is somewhat a nany stater. That said, I do appreciate that he is being honest rather than leaving his real beliefs for you to figure out.
It is easy to spout old cliches about how a conservative would govern, a lot harder to actually come up with solutions and be unafraid to be massively unpopular.
He isn’t my favorite by any means. I will decide that when I see who enters and who has the guts to actually articulate solutions to the Obama mess.
Won’t be easy folks.
Actually, I would prefer a national sales tax not a VAT that is designed exclusively to pay for ALL government entitlement programs, social security,medicare,medicaid,welfare,etc.It will be adjusted each year to reflect the annual cost as assessed by the CBOE for those programs that year It is the best way to control government spending because the DEMS will no longer be able to buy votes with entitlements by borrowing money or taxing “the rich”.Just see how many bleeding heart liberals there are out there when there is a direct route from the additional entitlements they want to their pocketbooks through an increased sales tax.
Why not have a VAT?
(of course that means the SS and income taxes go away....)
Another politician cooks his own goose. This time, it is not just well done, but chernobylized to a cinder.
The VAT is nothing more than a gravy train for politicians at our expense. No thanks!
This is a huge problem with the political class of either party. All are sitting around dreaming up schemes to use hard working people as tax cash cows. If it isn’t setting up tax cuts to expire, it is schemes like cap and tax and the VAT.
A Pox on all their houses. I say repeal the 16th Amendment to the Constitution and institute the Fair Tax!
Somebody get the fork..this turkey is done.
I have a way to make money for the taxpayers - 99.9 % tax on all politicians salary and 100%tax on all lobbyist money given to politicians. See this will keep the politicians honest. they only live .10% of income. think this will work. I prpose this as an ammendement to the Constitution effectively immediately and back dated to 1789.
