Now if you lose 5% or 7% purchasing power over a working career, I doubt
anyone would argue that it would buy a boat... right?

After all given Democat/Obama debt-spending is at record levels, bailing
out the inept, lazy, corrupt comes at a cost right?

The big reason greedy big fat government likes VAT is simple, it gets
everyone. Shares the pain. Instead of punitive taxes on the 30% (or
less) of those that work in non-governmetn jobs and pay any signifigant
amout of taxes, it isn't limited to the 30%. It gets 100% of us.

Watch, as soon as November is over, or perhaps sooner, VAT is comming to
a till near you. Unless of course you lefties wake up and smell the
coffee, which is unlikely.

You Obama supporters didn't think Obamanation was free did you?
