Read My Lips: Romney The Progressive Taxman Will Not Rule Out A New Value Added Tax!–Videos
Ron Paul needs to prepare another attack ad on Mitt Romney and his statement he will not rule out the Value Added Tax and review Romney’s record of tax and fee increase when he was Governor.
Paul should also come out for a FairTax Less alternative with a 20% rate and a $250 per person per month rebate. This would get the FairTax people on your side.
This would beatall of the other candidates tax plans and would cut the tax burden.
Mitt Romney Open To Value Added Tax (VAT) !
The Value Added Tax: A Hidden New Tax to Finance Much Bigger Government

Romney and the VAT
by Ed Morrissey
“…Romney wants to push a theme of reform, and in that vein talked about his ideas for comprehensive tax reform, a subject that has the possibilities for wide bipartisan support — or for political disaster, depending on what kind of reform one proposes. He tried to stick to broad, general principles, but the WSJ pinned him down on the idea of a consumption tax:
What about his reform principles? Mr. Romney talks only in general terms. “Moving to a consumption-based system is something which is very attractive to me philosophically, but I’ve not been able to sufficiently model it out to jump on board a consumption-based tax. A flat tax, a true flat tax is also attractive to me. What I like—I mean, I like the simplification of a flat tax. I also like removing the distortion in our tax code for certain classes of investment. And the advantage of a flat tax is getting rid of some of those distortions.”
Since Mr. Romney mentioned a consumption tax, would he rule out a value-added tax?
He says he doesn’t “like the idea” of layering a VAT onto the current income tax system. But he adds that, philosophically speaking, a VAT might work as a replacement for some part of the tax code, “particularly at the corporate level,” as Paul Ryan proposed several years ago. What he doesn’t do is rule a VAT out.
Amid such generalities, it’s hard not to conclude that the candidate is trying to avoid offering any details that might become a political target. And he all but admits as much. “I happen to also recognize,” he says, “that if you go out with a tax proposal which conforms to your philosophy but it hasn’t been thoroughly analyzed, vetted, put through models and calculated in detail, that you’re gonna get hit by the demagogues in the general election.”
That also seems to explain his refusal to propose cuts in individual tax rates, except for people who make less than $200,000, which not coincidentally is also Mr. Obama’s threshold for defining “the rich.”
The VAT is political dynamite, as Romney well knows, for a number of reasons. Europe relies on both VATs and income taxes for individuals and corporations, which has fueled government expansion and allows for easy revenue increases by tax-hiking politicians — to which we will return in a moment. Nancy Pelosi floated the idea two years ago of an additional VAT to fund ObamaCare, which had conservatives seeing red at the time and which no doubt helped paint the midterms red in 2010, in at least some small part. …”
Will Republicans Hand the Left a VAT Victory?
Mitt Romney won’t rule out the possibility of imposing a tax that’s the fast track to a European welfare state.
Dan Mitchell
“…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.
He’s not the only Republican to speak favorably of a VAT. Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan featured a flat tax and national sales tax. Very few people realized, however, that the final 9 was a VAT. And Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee and a favorite of the tea party thanks to his bold reforms to modernize Medicare and Medicaid, includes a VAT in his “Roadmap” plan, where it helps finance other reforms such as eliminating the corporate income tax.
What’s going on here?
Most Republican supporters are drawn to the VAT for relatively benign reasons. It is a single-rate system, like the flat tax, for raising revenue, so it does not raise the possibility of class-warfare demagoguery. The VAT also doesn’t hit savings and investment. And there are no distorting and corrupt loopholes. So there’s a lot to like about the levy—or would be, if there were some practicable way of substituting a VAT for taxes on income. …”
“…Unsurprisingly, President Obama is favorably inclined toward a VAT, having recently claimed that it is “something that has worked for other countries.” And yet it’s unlikely that the president would propose a VAT, in large part because he is fixated on class-warfare tax hikes. If he did, almost every Republican in Congress would be opposed, even if only for partisan reasons.
But what if a VAT sympathizer like Mr. Romney wins next November and decides that his plan for a lower corporate tax rate is only possible if accompanied by a VAT? There will be quite a few Republicans who like that idea because they want to do something nice for their lobbyist friends in the business community. And there will be many Democrats drawn to the plan because they realize that they need this new source of revenue to enable bigger government.
That’s a win-win deal for politicians and a terrible deal for taxpayers.”

The tea party and the conservative movement will revolt and throw-out both Democrats and Republican progressive candidates that dare to propose such a tax.

Daniel Mitchell: Beware as GOP Hints of VAT Tax
A VAT tax, like any tax, leads to bigger government, which would ultimately serve as a victory for the left.
“The most important thing to realize is that many people in Washington want bigger government, and a VAT is a necessary condition for that to happen,” Mitchell writes in a Wall Street Journal column.
“Simply stated, there is no way to turn America into a European-style welfare state without this new source of revenue.”
Imposing more taxes on the wealthy won’t generate enough revenue to create bigger government embraced by those on the left, Mitchell argues.
“And that’s why, looking at the long-run fiscal situation, the left needs a VAT. It’s is the only realistic way to collect the huge amount of revenue that will be necessary to finance the mountainous benefits promised by our entitlement programs.”
That’s why Republicans must resist the idea. …”

Time to stop the spending and close down ten Federal Government Departments.
Time for the FairTax, a national consumption sales tax that would replace all Federal income, payroll, capital gains, gift and estate taxes, eliminate the filing of tax returns and abolish the Internal Revenue service.
Time to vote out of office all the progressive radical socialist of both political parties who want to expand the size and scopt of government by more and higher taxes.

Daniel J. Mitchell – USA: Drowning In Debt?
Rep. King hosts FairTax Special Order
Time for both Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly to get a clue about the Value Added Tax.
It is a bad idea.
The problem is government spending.
The solution is not another tax to “pay” for this spending.
The solution is to cut Federal Government spending by closing down and abolishing ten Federal Departments.
Milton Friedman on Libertarianism (Part 4 of 4)
Then limit each year’s Federal Budget spending or expenditures including Social Security and Medicare payments to 90% of revenues collected from the previous year’s FairTax.
The remaining 10% would go to pay down the National Debt.
No more deficit spending.
No more bailouts.
No more stimulus packages.
No more subsidies.
No more tax returns.
The time has come for both The FairTax and Surplus Budgets.
This is fiscal responsibility or living within ones means.
Try to pass a value added tax in addition to the income tax and you will get a tax revolt from the American people that will make the Tea Parties look like a walk in the park.
Any politician who supports a value added tax will be voted out of office, Democrat, Republican, Socialist, or Independent!
Any talk radio or television host who supports a Valued Added Tax in addition to Federal income, payroll, capital gains and estate and gift taxes will lose audience as his/her listeners and viewers turn them off.
Be forewarned, the Value Added Tax is a loser.
Just look at who is supporting this idea–the Progressive Radical Socialist Democratic Party.
These people recognize that their Cap and Trade Energy Tax is not going to pass and their backup plan for more tax revenues is the Value Added Tax.
Obama and the Democratic Party need the Value Added Tax to pay for all the additional Federal Government spending they want including bailouts, stimulus packages, political payoffs and subsidies for their political supporters.
If you are against the Cap and Trade Energy Tax you should be against the Value Added Tax.
If you are not, you are confused.
Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly get a clue!
Do your homework.
Bill O’Reilly obviously did not do his homework or get the memo when he made this video:
What Bill thinks of the FAIR Tax
FairTax Prebate Explained
Charlie Rose Show: Fair Tax
I guess Bill missed the part about the FairTax prebates!
Joe The Plumber did his homework and gets it.
Joe The Plumber on FairTax
It is about time several talk radio and television commentors do their homework as well!
Think of the Value Added Tax as a brand new credit card with very high trillion dollar limits for the Progressive Radical Socialist Democratic Party to spend more of the American people’s money.
Throw the bums out.
Do not reward them with a new tax or credit card to steal money from the American people, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Give me a break.
Enough is enough.
Replace all existing Federal taxes including Federal income, payroll, capital gains and estate and gift taxes with a national sales consumption tax–The FairTax.
The FairTax time has come!
Surplus Federal Budgets time has come.
Fiscal Responsibility time has come.
Limited Government time has come.
When they say to you it will never happen, start talking about the American Revolution.

24% Favor National Sales Tax, 65% Oppose
“…The New York Times reports that “economists across the political spectrum say a consumption tax may be inevitable once the economy fully recovers.”
One of the reasons cited by the newspaper is the lack of political will to cut spending, but implementing a national sales tax may be even more of a political challenge. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 24% of voters favor a national sales tax. Sixty-five percent (65%) are opposed.
When the idea is paired with health care reform, it does a bit better. Thirty-nine percent (39%) support a national sales tax to pay for the cost of health care reform, but a majority (52%) still remains opposed.
A plurality, however, like the idea of replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax. Forty-four percent (44%) favor the idea, and 36% are opposed. …”

Value Added Tax
“…Value added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax (GST), or income tax is a consumption tax (CT) levied on any value that is added to a product. In contrast to sales tax, VAT is neutral with respect to the number of passages that there are between the producer and the final consumer whereas sales tax is levied on total value at each stage (though in the U.S. and many other countries, sales tax is charged only at the point of final sale to the final consumer, and a use tax only to the final user; there are no sales taxes paid at wholesale or production level). The result is a cascade (downstream taxes levied on upstream taxes). A VAT is an indirect tax, in that the tax is collected from someone who does not bear the entire cost of the tax.
Maurice Lauré, Joint Director of the French Tax Authority, the Direction générale des impôts, was first to introduce VAT on April 10, 1954, although German industrialist Dr. Wilhelm von Siemens proposed the concept in 1918. Initially directed at large businesses, it was extended over time to include all business sectors. In France, it is the most important source of state finance, accounting for 52% of state revenues.[1]
Personal end-consumers of products and services cannot recover VAT on purchases, but businesses are able to recover VAT on the materials and services that they buy to make further supplies or services directly or indirectly sold to end-users. In this way, the total tax levied at each stage in the economic chain of supply is a constant fraction of the value added by a business to its products, and most of the cost of collecting the tax is borne by business, rather than by the state. VAT was invented because very high sales taxes and tariffs encourage cheating and smuggling. Critics point out that it disproportionately raises taxes on middle- and low-income homes. …”

As a member of the classical liberal or libertarian wing of the conservative movement I have given up on both political parties in the distain their leaders and party elite have for the American people.
I am now an independent and as the above chart clearly illustrates our numbers are growing daily.
Both political parties have been fiscally irresponsible in running up massive Federal government deficits year after year which in turn has led to the explosive growth in the National Debt and interest that must be paid each year.

Independents outnumber Democrats, Republicans
by Liz Sidoti/ Associated Press
“…Barack Obama’s presidency has ushered in an era of centrism, with the country experiencing such a boost in independent voters that they now make up the largest proportion of the electorate in 70 years.
This fickle group doesn’t have uniform opinions, so its dominance carries potential risks for emboldened Democrats and opportunities for out-of-power Republicans. …”
