[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 866509, member: 65699"] Whoa, Value Added Tax and Fair Tax are 100% different. VAT sux. I'm not Canadian so I have no perceived sense of justification for it, but each time I go up and get a bill & see the "VAT" expense, I have to repress a cry of WTF. Though that anecdote shows that a federal sales tax is more effective than the current taxes as tourists and illegals would be forced to pay them. Though any sort of Federal Sales tax would HAVE to replace income tax, which is unconstitutional anyhow. Though it also couldn't touch gasoline--it is expensive enough, and that would give obama a way to artificially inflate gas prices to dictate consumer choice to econoboxes, a la Europe (though BO declares that he has no intar-est in taxing gasoline..) If the tax is VA and/or on top of normal income tax, I would hope that the American people would finally kick the tax-crazy representatives and executive branch the F out, for good. Ah can't afford to be doubly taxed. From what I know of Fair Tax, it sounds fun. Fair Tax FTW...at least it would be more constitutional than current income tax. [/QUOTE]
