Do you think a regressive tax like the typical 18% VAT in all of these
other countries would fly here? How about a 10% across the board
surtax on income?

Don would still trade tax bills with us in a heart beat.

If we had an 18% VAT the Dems would want to 'subsidize' the purchase
of anything and everything for
the bottom 50% of the population. The top 50% would pay the VAT plus
the VAT subsidy for the other
half of the population.

The problem with the VAT is everyone pays it. You can tune it somewhat
by limiting what it applies to but everyone will see some of it

The only way to really tax everybody evenly, even the underground
employed, is a nation wide sales tax eliminating the income tax. That
way everybody really pays taxes, peroid.. No 4 billion dollar IRS
refunds to China and a house in Alabama somewhere... Simple, you live
here, you pay, period...

Sure, task the poor with the most regressive tax of all. Dumfoch.

The thing that is scary is that every country with a VAT or a national
sales tax, still collects income taxes. I bet our government would do
the same if we let them.

Not from the 'poor'. A tax credit for VAT wipes out Harry's ridiculous complaint. He's still pretty
good at name-calling though.
