NO VAT! It is hidden (embedded in the cost of the goods) and is easily pushed higher by the elitist political ruling class every time they want to further burden and control the “great unwashed” (that’s us) who actually WORK for a living.
THE CLEARLY VISIBLE (stated on EVERY RECEIPT) FAIR TAX IS THE BETTER WAY!
Sorry, I failed to mention that ANY move to a consumption tax MUST be accompanied by the TOTAL REPEAL of the 16th AMENDMENT or as sure as Satan made politicians and bureaucrats, we’ll wind up with BOTH a sales tax AND the income tax.
