There are some legitimate concerns that people have regarding the FT, but at least they take the time to investigate it and learn whether it is a valid concern. You just make up your own answers -- not based in fact -- and then decide that you don't like the answers.

Help me, please. Would you call that approach ignorance or just plain stupidity?

With a BA in Philosophy, an MBA and 25 years experience working in four different countries, I'll choose 'c'.

I have here, and in a different thread, simply attempted to point out the unintended consequences or your proposals.

If your proposal IS like the VAT (in which taxes are collected at each step of the supply chain and then offset with payments farther down the line) then please explain why we shouldn't learn from Europe on the subject?

If your proposal is NOT like the VAT (taxes collected only on the "end-user", whatever that means) then you will need an army of Revenue agents to determine what is or is not "end-use".

Let's say my company gives me a company car which I also use for personal use. Is this "consumption"? Of what type?

I think I'll keep my accountant on retainer while you are trying to decide.
