Comment:
Re- request for opinions on tax reform:
A VAT (value added) Tax is very important- as Europe found years ago-- to
prevent loss of an estimated $200 to $300 BILLION lost in tax revenue every
year by tax cheats.
That should significantly increase total revenue while still allowing
rebates or exemptions most Americans have come to expect.
