the IRS will have been obliterated, and the Republican Congress and USSC will establish a VAT tax, which is a huge sales tax on all purchases, which drastically effects those under the top 1% and is extremely regressive......

1) being only on purchases it is a minimal amount to the UBER rich.

2) it wipes out an incredible number of government employees, a massive permanent cut to the budget

3) AND wipes out entire businesses that he Uber rich loathe that they have to hire......Tax Accountants and Tax Lawyers saving them even more money.

They will point out that many other countries have a VAT tax, without pointing out that it gives them free education, free health care, much lower Rx prices, and much greater maternal leave and sick pay as well as much greater vacation time.....
