Mitch Daniels Open to VAT

[Insula Dei]

It's surreal to see a prominent Republican say something half-sensible on economic issues, really.

Yeah, cause stealing more money from hardworking Americans equals "sensible"....

We should really just have no taxes at all.  Wouldn't that be grand?

Definitely.

Because we can all just by guns and shoot criminals that try to break into our houses.  And build our own roads.  And hire private tutors to educate our children.  And staff our own fire stations.  And....

Yes, actually we can do all those things, and have done every single one of those things not all that long ago.

Were your great-grand parents educated by private teachers? If so, you probably don't really have a perspective here...
