Reason, I hear democrats are quitely plannign a tax hike, massive
removal of deductions and a national VAT.

you guys have also been hearing about UFO's, velikovsky, and the
fluoridation of water.

any other paranoid schemes you wanna invent?

The VAT is far from a paranoid scheme. There are a lot of people
advocating it.

As long as all other forms of sales and income taxes are repealled it
might work. But, when people go to the store to buy something for $1 and
end up paying $1.25 then it will be a problem. The people on the lower
end of the income scale will be crying about how unfair it is that they
have to pay so much of their income in taxes while the other people are
paying so little.

The people on the lower end will make it up in income tax credits. The other
taxes won't be repealed. They may be temporarily reduced.
