We aren't dealing with smart people.  We are dealing with socialists.  A 
VAT tax would have the same impact.  The only difference is that the 
pain would take a little longer to be felt.  The wrong questions and 
debates are being had.  The real questions should be:

What is the efficiency of the government and how can it be improved ?
What is the right size of government for us ? 
Do we really need the US government to consume over $3T of the economy ?
If $3T a year isn't enough, how much is ?
How much economic activity is generated from $1 in tax cuts vs. $1 in 
government spending ?


We are letting the left shape the debate into a class warfare argument.
