Where in the tax package is a VAT tax included? I think the writter of the original piece is having a bad day.

or should I say, "neocons" have in store for us.

Remember, neocons => Jews. This is an anti-semetic rant. That is why it is so hard to find reason in the words.

I can't find the phrase "value added tax" in the bill. Is there some legal double-speak that would conjure up VAT?

"last week while the writers were still crafting it."

TF, The bill is still being written before and while and after the votes are taken in Congress as have been a few other truly nefarious pieces of legislation such as NAFTA, and GATT, because they were "so important" for our future. Joan wrote an earlier article on this same subject. I'll try to find the original text of the legislation. By the way, When Joan writes that the "Democrats are against this bill because of the VAT", she IS wrong! Though it will make for a good talking point for the next election cycle. We'll see if they bring it up. Peace and love, George.

you will be taxed on the cost of the shirt which also includes the tax that was paid at each phase. Will the price of the shirt increase – absolutely! So will the cost of living.

Now there's your basic problem: it STARTED OUT as a pair of PANTS, then by the time it got to the store, it turned into a SHIRT!

Yes..where is the VAT?...and why hasn't it been mentioned in any of the other numerous articles detailing the tax package?

Is there anyone else who thinks that the tax cut is a hidden VAT tax? I remember another thread on this a few months ago, but I am pretty sure it's the same writer.
