The only plus side of a VAT is that it eliminates local and state taxes. How is that going to work? The VAT would be a Fed tax. What control does the Federal government have on State or Local taxation?

Even bigger Federal controls then are already in place, the Anaconda Plan.

This “business tax” of Cruz’s DOES NTO eliminate local and state taxes in any way shape or form. It does eliminate social security tax, half of which is paid by business and it does eliminate the corporate tax, thusly throwing the entire tax burden onto the consumer and note....social security GONE.
