    Most countries in Europe that use value added tax are doing well. Value added tax is an efficient way to fund government that makes it much more difficult for the underground cash economy. This is a severe problem in Puerto Rico and a properly administrated value added tax in place of all or a good portion of the island tax would have solved a number of problems. A value added tax is something the U.S. should give serious consideration to.

    this post is another of your unsubstantiated nonsense to enhance your leftie dreams. unlike you I provide numbers. $177 billion in vat was never collected in 2012. so much for efficiency.

    Austria. (i'll feed them one at a time to you.):) As you ask for them. The information is free, by the way. I don't charge for it. Fell free to take notes. You might want to compare the amounts not collected via a conventional income tax versus the amounts not collected by value added tax before you make up your already-made-up mind.:):)

    at anyrate, we know from observation that as far as the EU goes, what Germany has been doing works, and what Greece has been doing failed. Compared to USA they are both socialists.

    just based on my uneducated opinion, which I learned from watching tv, the way it's presented to me across that glass (or whatever they make it from today) screen, it would seem that Germany is a cutthroat capitalist nation who can hold their own in any any kind of business negotiation. Yet socially, compared to USA, they are very socialist.

    maybe because Germany accepts their citizens as "Children of the Fatherland", and USA accepts their citizens as "Those and US."

    and I'm pretty sure the Germans look at the Greeks as "Them"

    My going back in time fantasy is that when the South threatened to leave the Union, President Lincoln said, "Ok."
