BUT, it still ends up causing prices to go up, as I said. Here is an article on VAT: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Issues/Budget-Impact/2010/10/22/Republicans-Rip-into-One-of-Their-Own-Over-VAT-Tax.aspx |
Did you read your own article on why it "raised prices"?
It blames the economic times, and nothing to do with the actual VAT in europe... and furthermore supports a VAT and says that it's our current tax system is making things cost more and restraining growth.
