Two main Issues. His big pluses are strong character, capitalist and loves America.
Actually there is a HUGE difference between a VAT and a sales tax. VAT taxes wealth creation, the latter taxes consumption. VAT taxes put domestic producers at a disadvantage to foriegn producers. That's why European countries have to have an elaborate system of subsidies for companies to make up for VAT. It creates tons of red tape, and the cost of enforcement is high. A sales tax is simple. You pay a tax on what you buy, regardless of where it was made, and never have to report anything.
