#3 is commonly called a Value Added Tax. Politicians love it because it's hidden from consumers. It's a tax that promotes government.Number 3 is one I have never thought of or heard of before, but the more I think about it, the more I am liking it.
No thanks.
that isn't what a value added tax is and it isn't why politicians "love it".
the VAT is wrong because it taxes expenditures, not income. lower income people spend more of their income than the wealthy. so middle and working class people end up getting taxed at higher rates.
the rightwingnut corportatists love it.
i'm figuring you didn't understand what it is.
Right wingers are all against it. Leftwingers are the ones who want to adopt it.
