Obama Economic Adviser Says U.S. Should Consider 'Value Added Tax'

NYPost.com

A VAT is a national sales tax
that, like state and city sales taxes, would be collected by retailers.

Acknowledging it would be a highly unpopular move, White House economic adviser Paul Volcker said yesterday the United States should consider imposing a "value added tax" similar to those charged in Europe to help get the deficit under control.

A VAT is a national sales tax that, like state and city sales taxes, would be collected by retailers.

Volcker, at the New-York Historical Society, told a panel on the global financial crisis that Congress might also have to consider new taxes on carbon and energy.

The VAT suggestion was immediately met with outrage by Republicans.

"It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Obama White House would advocate a European-style tax to help finance their European-style government health-care plan," said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee.

If they really want to raise tax revenues, put a tax on voting :clap:

Well, according to our precious Constitution they cant do that but I'm sure something so simple and mundane as that would not hold them back...

I wonder if they'll at least offer a kiss before they try ramming that one through? The Dimocraps are a lying ,coniving, traitorous bunch that we need to remove from office ASAP. And before the Republicans take a bow they will need to be set straight that the policies of the past are NFG. Conservative values and much less government are what's needed IMHO. There was an Iowa politicain on Fox yesterday that hit the nail on the head perfectly. States need to take back their sovereignty, the fed needs to be shrunk back to its original intent and if states want projects,,,They pay for them!! No dollars from Uncle Sam through earmarks, which need to be done away with immedialtely if not sooner. For that jackass to even hint at a VAT is obscene in any language.

King George....wasnt he sent a copy of the DOI? - Declaration of Independence...

I've posted the first couple paragraphs. Please read them carefully...

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness....

My point exactly.

KGIII forced the Colonists to purchase only English Tea - bho is forcing Colonists to purchase health care.

KGIII foisted unwarrented & un represented taxes on the Colonists - because of bho & his cronies we are all looking at seeing our takehome pay taxed into oblivion.

And those of you who are much more savvy in Colonial Politics (teh 1775 version and teh 2010 version) can school me in ALL the similarities between Good King George & HRH, Komrad Obama.

If you arent familiar with the DOI it was actually a DOWar. Read the whole thing especially the part with the "charges." Several similarities...
