The thing I HATE about a VAT tax is it is a hidden tax. Taxes should be
up
front and visable. I would prefer that the income taxes collected go into
a
special account that you have to write a check on to the government for
your
yearly income tax payment. Then these who say 'Oh, I got a refund this
year'. Would realize they just overpaid, and then maybe we would have
revolt at the ballot box on all the tax and spend politicians.

Come on up to Canada. We got rid of the old hidden Federal Sales Tax
back in 1993. We call our new national tax GST...(goods & services tax) at
7%.
Here in my corner of the world...3 of the four Atlantic provinces went a
step further. We blended the 7% GST and the old 11% PST (provincial sales
tax) into one 15% HST. Originally it was called BST (blended sales tax)
but everyone started calling it the bull **** tax...so the gov't actually
changed the name to Harmonized Sales Tax....H.S.T.
HST is added at the cash register and clearly shown on any receipt or
invoice.

Awww, Damn! You let the poop out of the bag. Now we will have to
pay 133.67 million to come up with a new name for it.

Who do you think will get the feel good ad money?

It's a value added tax, (VAT) a tax on every profitable sale. Every
profitable sale, even government sales! Once the government gets
taxes for spending money, you have achieved critical mass.

The power to tax is the power to kill.

How much do they take in? Where does it go? Audit the *******s!
