What's wrong taxing people on what they buy? Consumer tax covers everyone and cannot avoid it as supposed to underground economy who hides from paying taxes. This is not just a right wing idea but a fair tax idea for everyone period. Even better, I am more favoring FLAT TAX for everyone. No corporate loopholes or mortgage interest deduction, a straight tax for everyone.
The only reason OBAMA balked on the idea of VAT, its political suicide. This idea would be fought HARD by almost everyone in this country. We are not EUROPE.
