Interesting.

Many other presidents have said they'd overhaul the tax system. How is it that now Obama can and will change it?

I am fine with a VAT if it REPLACES the current system. I do not want a VAT on top of what we already have. I don't want European-style unemployment and repression of businesses due to excessive taxation.

Why doesn't he adopt the fairtax plan? It would have support from the right, and is very similar to the VAT.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
