national sales tax...referred to as VAT

The once unthinkable plan to create a national sales tax. In other part of the world, such as Britain, governments use this tax (referred to as VAT - or value-added - tax) as a way to capitalize on what people buy instead of what they make. But anyone who thinks this government is going to give up a tax to add another would likely be sniffing something funny. When has this government every cut back on their spending or so called services??? But for right-thinking people the notion is laughable. In fact, a couple of libs that i`ve taked to couldn’t understand what the big deal is with the concept. I proceeded to explained, “You can’t operate from the perspective that it’s their money and that they’re letting you keep some of it.”
A VAT is a hidden tax that would increase the cost of just about everything, from a carton of eggs to a visit with a lawyer. In fact, it's really a multi-level tax. Items are taxed every step of the way - from creation to getting on the market shelves. Of course, that means higher prices along the way, and taxes on top of it.
While a lot of folks in the White House might cheer the idea(of course they would, its not their money that they are taxing/spending) as something that would really stick it to the rich(HAHAHAHAHA) , VAT has been shown to be regressive, and mainly falling on the poor. On the flip side of that reality, VAT advocates say those negatives could be offset by using the proceeds to pay for health care for every American -- a benefit that would be highly valuable to low-income families.
Idiot libs, why dont they ever take into consideration that when they excessivly tax an item or service the 1st human response is to cut back....see gas, cigs, etc, etc.....Then they(in their perspective) lose money=raise taxes more=lose money=raise taxes more.......and on and on and on

If you walk away with anything from my tiraid, take this with you...THIS IS AN HIDDEN TAX ON ALL LEVELS OF CONSUMPTION. THE RICH HAVE SO MUCH MONEY IT WONT MATTER TO THEM, AND WITH THIS TAX, THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR GET SCREWED.....
AND WHO WILL KEEP OBAMA, OR ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION FOR THAT MATTER FROM CONTINUOUSLY RAISING THE TAX!!!!

Its time to say to the government enough, stop, go home......get out of our lives!
Can anyone say revolution? Trust me, its coming!!
