I have always thought that a VAT is FAR preferable to the IRS! A VAT could go directly into the U.S. Treasury to fund defense and give those poor overworked souls in congress a raise ;o)> Think about it - with no exceptions a VAT would make all scumbags and criminals pay for their own demise. You don't collect tax from an illegal being paid under the table. Crack dealers sure as hell don't pay tax on the blood money they reap. Even a drug dealer has to buy a car, clothing, food, housing, bullets, toilet paper....... The @#$%^&* IRS is a blood-sucking out-of-control agency. Eliminate it!
