I guess the whole "95% of people will not see there taxes go up" may be thrown out the window...
Who are you quoting here? I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it.
Please advise.
WOW! Unbelievable... I guess the whole "95% of people will not see there taxes go up" may be thrown out the window... Big Surprise there.
When will Obama feel that the people have been taxed enough????
Let's hope this doesn't happen.
Once Considered Unthinkable, U.S. Sales Tax Gets Fresh Look
I thought you conservatives were all in favor of consumption taxes. Have I been misinformed?

Good point, Mani.
We already have some user taxes, of course.
Cigarettes, booze, petroleum taxes are three good examples.
In some cases user taxes might be the preferable mthod of taxation.
But VAT taxation ends up taxing pretty near everything.
I think this is a terrible idea, personally.
The Dems came up with this one?
Doesn't surprise me.
But as Mani pointed out weren't at least some of you people who hate progressive Federal incomes taxes advocating this method of taxation as prefereable to progressive taxes on incomes?
What is the FairTax plan?
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue replacement, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment. This nonpartisan legislation (HR 25/S 1025) abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax -- administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities. The IRS is disbanded and defunded. The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.

Obama, when he said he wouldn't raise taxes on those making less than $250,000 a year.
It's interesting to see the right wingers throw around the word Fascist. Most don't seem to know what it even means.WOW! Unbelievable... I guess the whole "95% of people will not see there taxes go up" may be thrown out the window... Big Surprise there.

But advocates say few other options can generate the kind of money the nation will need to avert fiscal calamity.
No, no, no, no, no. FUCK no. VAT is 17.5% in the UK. Paying that shit is the most galling experience you can imagine.
I've got another option. Stop spending so much fucking money if there is a need to "avert fiscal calamity". If VAT is introduced it will kill any economic recovery outright and instantly.
No, no, no.
This Presidency is one big nightmare. We'll be the Fourth Reich before we can get this fascist idiot out of office.
How bout y'all start bitching when Obama actually proposes it as opposed to merely considering it.
Also its hilarious how taking away and limiting constitutional freedoms is A OK in the name of anti-terror fearmongering, but taxing (which is specifically allowed) is somehow fascist

I suppose he will pull 1.8 trillion dollars out of his ass. Maybe you can tell me how Obama plans to make up with this years deficit?

The same way Bush made up 8 years of deficits.

We're not talking about 4 or 5% of the GDP, we're talking about 13% of the GDP. Neither is acceptable but the latter is unsustainable.
