  That simpering White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs. was telling reporters that the pres was not and would not consider employing a European style VAT (value added tax). That is just another way of saying MORE TAXES !!
   Today the pres says ..GOOD IDEA!!!  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100421/ap_on_bi_ge/us_obama_tax

   If if were put into effect as it is in most European countries, it could add up to a 20% increase on everything you purchase. That doesn't replace other state & local sales taxes you already may be paying..but rather in addition to...

      Remember hearing....." If you make less than $250,000.00 per year, you will not see one dime increase in your taxes"..

                             and...."No new taxes on the middle class".

What the regime meant to say was that it wouldn't be a European style vat tax; it would be an all American style vat tax.  And no you wouldn't see one dime of added taxes; it would be thousands of dollars of added taxes.
