        @WSJ VAT is a regressive form of taxation: the less you earn, the, relatively, more you pay. A french invention from the sixties.

        @WSJ Yes, if simpler than it is today. No, if more complicated. But generally and sadly, Congress is incapable of making anything simpler.

        @WSJ Consumer tax ravishes poor people most because for rich ones it´s near nothing - not so to the poor.

        @WSJ If we were starting from scratch, VAT + no income tax + basic universal income would be the way to go. But how to get there from here?
