A nine percent VAT tax, if proposed by a Democrat, would raise a cry from here to outer space. For some reason, from Herman Cain, it’s perfectly acceptable.
This garden path is well worn. Here we go again!
Maybe because FReepers are smart enough to know the difference between a VAT (which Cain’s plan is not) and a sales tax that replaces almost 30% hidden taxes in the products and services you buy.
We are smarter than the average bear here.
