“The VAT is a typical liberal ploy.....tax the value added to products at the manufacturing level so the consumer does not see it directly.
Yep, this is how it’s done in Europe. And, not only is this tax added in at the manufacturing level, it’s added in at virtually every major process point in the entire supply chain - starting from order entry to point of retail sale. So, this VAT will be added in and compounded several times. All invisible to the consumer of course. Neat little trick, huh?
Now that the dinosaur media doesn't control 100% of our communications, people will know why the price of goods and services has gone up. I'm sure the new media will make it a point to educate them.
With a tax like this, the cost of social programs will also go sky high, because someone has to pay the democrats bills for them. Their bills go up, the more money the government will have to take from us. That means higher taxes, because the democrat base will still want to feed. Some one will have to pay for their increased expenses, too.
