I am unconditionally opposed to a VAT. I do not care what happens to the income tax.

Add me to the opposers of a VAT. There are people on this forum who are all for it as a replacement of the current income tax, that, of course will never happen, it would be in addition to the income tax.

Their reasoning being, that all would pay, including those who pay no income tax now. They are too simple minded to know that any tax the so called "poor" pay through a VAT would be refunded to them, plus a little extra for their troubles. Remember the E.I.T.C.?

You may be confusing VAT with the NRST, two totally different animals.
