I respectfully disagree. The VAT tax was part of the plan all along. It was part of the plan, as the health care legislative push, the slimy deals, and attacks on our allies. They openly spoke of exactly what they would do if and when they controlled an unopposed majority in our government.
You disagree that liberals don’t constantly think about how to raise taxes!!???!! How is the fact that libs have planned for vat or other taxes inconsistent with the idea that they’re always scheming to raise taxes?
