Mitt Romney won't rule out the possibility of a VAT Tax

This is from the guy who will "turn our economy around". Wake up, sheep.

In a recent interview on these pages, presidential candidate Mitt Romney refused to rule out a value-added tax (VAT). He suggested that this hidden form of a national sales tax—which is embedded in the prices of goods and services during the production process—might be appropriate, particularly as a way of financing other tax cuts.

Romneycare,pro choice,anti Reagan,anti gun etc now more taxes

 

^ This. Romney is a total fraud. Anti-gun, pro-choice, huge spending, technocrat. But that's how "conservatives" roll - they're idiots. But so is the left. The entire country is brimming with morons.

 

Who's the pussy that negged this thread, already?

There ya go. Just proves how delusional these so-called "conservatives" are.

 

Why is a consumption tax such a bad thing, especially if it's accompanied by a cut in other taxes (e.g. income and corp)? Wouldn't that be good for American society, generally? I don't really have a view, but I don't see why it necessarily has to be such a bad thing...

 

He's not anti-gun, he's anti-certain kind of gun. He's not pro-choice, he's pro-certain kind of choice. His record indicates he cuts here, spends there--sound rational to me. He may be a technocrat, but he's a successful businessman, too; that's what you keep saying would be best, right?
His record of flipflops indicates he's trying to please a diverse audience. Practically speaking that makes him a centrist. Which, in our "if you're not with us you're against us" age, is his biggest problem.
I think he could have a real shot at the presidency, but first he'll have to convince the independents that he'll be like Obama (economically), but with muscle this time (and not flipflop into "disastrous"--that's for you, Lukie--republican policy prescriptions).

 

That's a vote on you, not your thoughts. Everyone gets the same treatment here.

 

Oh, you mean like Europe? Where they slashed taxes after they passed the VAT?

 

Mitt is pure scum - hell no to VAT or any national sales tax - sick sick scum!

 

Ya, we all hate each other. One big happy family

But no. Every Ron Paul thread gets instantly negged. Every negative Ron Paul thread is rated 5 stars. There's a pattern. Lots of neocon lurkers. Pussies.
