I don’t care how many tomes, over how many articles, over how many years, you have made these comments to me.
It’s typical liberal nature that if there is a federal consumption tax ever imposed at the cash-register, the liberals will not be able to resist the urge and desire to turn that point of sale collection of federal monies into a VAT.
Argue the fine points of the Fair Tax proposal all you want. As long as there are democrats in Congress living and breathing, they will eventually turn any point of sale consumption tax at the federal level into a VAT.
There is nothing you, or the Fair Tax books or articles or professors, or spreadsheets or anything else can do or say to change my mind. Liberals never met a tax they do not want to expand and enlarge. The Fair Tax is a nice fat tool to leverage a VAT into our wallets.
PS: love the tagline.
Please explain how a single, point of sale consumption tax can be transmuted into a tax that is inflicted at every stage of production.
What is standing in their way now? Why don’t they just create a VAT and be done with it? For that matter, why don’t they just add a national sales tax to the code now?
