So. Is the current tax on businesses a VAT? If not, what is the difference that defines one as a business tax and the other a VAT. Please be specific...
Apparently, National Review thinks it's a VAT. They had another article on the same thing a few days later.
Apparently, "economists" are calling the Cruz flat business tax [16%?] a "VAT".
It kind of makes sense, because businesses don't pay taxes - their customers pay the tax.
