Unfortunately I have to support adding a VAT simply because this country will COLLAPSE without it. We, the public in general, demand that Congress spend a Trillion or so dollars it doesn’t collect every year - so we might as well find a way to pay for some of that, because this country will not be a pretty place for my children otherwise.
Of course the other option is to cut spending...but that never seems to get anywhere - if it did, then yes, I would be against a VAT, as I really don’t like it at all.
VAT on top of the income tax will destroy America!
