.......If the government is going to take our money, it should mug us on the street in broad daylight, rather than sneak into our homes at night and burglarize us unnoticed.
The VAT would encourage more burglary. Cruz and Paul want smaller government, but down the road, other politicians looking to shore up entitlement programs will say, “They could be financed with just a small tax increase on businesses.”
But each ‘small’ increase in the VAT rate would transfer huge amounts of additional cash from the private economy to the government.....
This is how it started, in Europe. A ‘miniscule’ amount....then....it’s just continued to grow and grow.
NO NEW VAT taxes!!!
