With a VAT the parasites have to pay, unlike the presently constructed income tax. But I have one question. The Constitution is pretty specific about taxation. It allows for tariffs and the 16th amendment allows for a tax on income. A VAT is a new tax that is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Would not an amendment be required before such a wide ranging levy could be imposed?

Yeah but they're paying with their tax payer donated dollars so what do they care?

and as to constitutional questions...that's just an outdated charter of negative rights, didn't you know that. Obama said so.
