Not having a VAT puts us at an economic disadvantage against any nation that does have one. But VATs are terrible. The correct response to VATs is more tarriffs. Free Trade + VATs from other nations = destruction of US economy. Its simply mathematics.

Well I trust Trump is doing what's best for us economically so.. We'll just have to keep our eyes open to see what's going down.

It won't go anywhere because the Democrats run the House and they use the IRS to do their bidding. For example, they are the only people to even be able to think of a scheme where the IRS essentially supervised your health insurance coverage, two things that have nothing to do with each other. Amazingly, only a short while ago, the Republicans ran everything. Interesting they didn't think of this bill at that time, when it would have had some traction.

Duh.. bc we had Globalist rino R's. Thinkabout it. Trump's got the upper hand now. He perged the rinos and the one's that are left such as Romney are now Trump puppets. Do you really believe Trump would campaign for Romney if he wasn't going to play the role Trump wants him to play? This show is getting crazier by the minute! Nancy & Chuck are actually taking down their Party with loonacy & Romney's putting on his anti-Trump show. Great actors man.

HR 25 was first introduced by Representative John Linder (GA-R) in the early 2000's and originally had about 60 co-sponsors.

I tried reading through the text of the bill. WORSE than the IRA and income tax. 23 percent. Added to the current 10 percent that is one third of my income off the top..

Part of the bill gets rid of all other federal taxes and the IRS.

True, but it also sets the federal sales tax at 23% for the year 2021. Add that to the 10% state and local sales tax I already pay and that is 1/3 of my income off the top to the government. Then there is Social Security which supposedly is in there but I did not find it, gasoline tax, federal excise tax on items such as tires, and who know what else.

I pay about 8 to 10 percent of my income to the IRS. That is bad enough. To pay 23% to the federal government for everything I buy is off the table.

Will never happen. 100% guarantee. The Bill will not even reach the floor in the House. Did you forget that the Libertards are large and in charge or what exactly?

It is the same game the Illuminati has been playing on folks since Washington. Different players, same Divide and Conquer chess board. There has been controversy surrounding every President since the inception of the United States. Study your history.

The puppet masters create "dis order" so the people will demand "order". The price of "order" always entails a handing over of control and loss of freedom on the part of the citizenry. Out of "chaos" comes "order" - THEIR order - their new WORLD order. ORDO AB CHAO.

Did they introduce it last year too, when conservatives held the House, Senate , and WH?

A good point. Why not introduce it and sign it into law when they held the majority? Why wait till now?

It's a nice show of solidarity. Wait till you're no longer in a position of power and say: "If I could, I would vote for your freedom!"
