I don’t know precisely. I do know that in Europe, generally speaking, VAT taxes are quite high. I don’t see why Greece would be an exception.

It seems that our policy makers in Washington are adamantly determined to take us down the same path as Greece and most other European nations as well.

Thanks for your replies. I have yet to see any honest reporting about this stealth tax. Commentators routinely refer to it as a national sales tax, yet politicians know they could never sell a sales tax high enough to do any good. That is why they prefer a tax that is added in increments along the way from raw materiel to finished product.

Idiot RATS worship Europe, and no moreso than when they lamented for 6 years during the Iraq war about ‘what Europe thinks of us.’ IDIOTS! So you want to be like ‘em?
