Jose Barro, an economist for the Manhattan Institute, told CBS 2 HD that the vat might work if the government agreed to reduce personal income and corporate taxes at the same time. Does anyone see that happening?

Eliminate. Not reduce. And Cap the VAT. Otherwise. NO B.O.

...if the government agreed to reduce personal income and corporate taxes at the same time. Of course they'll agree to that.

Until the time comes to actually reduce the other taxes.
